Reactions to 9/11 Articles

        The first story I read was about the controversial picture of the Falling Man. There are two suspects of who the man could have been, but the article said we will never truly know. I think that that just might be the absolute worst way to die and feel so bad for both of the families who may or may not have been related to the falling man. One of the suspect's family, the Hernandez family, were said to have been driven apart due to the unknown death of Norberto Hernandez. Some of his family said he would go to Hell is it was him in the picture because they wouldn't have wanted him to jump. In my opinion, I wouldn't be mad if he did jump because he had very slim chances of surviving that kind of attack. I'm sad that the death drove their family apart.
        The next article focused more on the impact of the picture on the people who saw it on the newspaper the next day than on the impact on the family. People that read the newspaper were angry about the graphic photo and the press were forced to take it down. I personally think that the people shouldn't have been angry about the picture because it showed the truth about what actually happened that day and people need to know the truth.
       The last article focused on what it was like inside to towers when the planes hit. Also, it said the the falling man was identified as Johnathan Briley. There were also many stories of couples who spoke for the very last time, and it was really hard to read that. It was so sad and i can't even think about what it would be like if i was in that position. Never forget.
