shapes your mind to religious, social and economic patterns
when you grow up to be an active citizen. At a young age,

falls over it.

Exercise 5
The Falling Man
The Falling Man is a nickname given to a man
who fell from the North Tower of the World Trade Center
during the September 11 attacks in NewYork City, and is
also the title of a photograph, magazine story and
documentary film about the incident. The photo was taken
by Richard Drew at 9:41:15 a.m. on September 11, 2001.
The story, written by Tom Junod, appeared in the September
2003 issue of Esquire magazine, and was later made into a
film.
The subject of the image- whose identity remains
uncertain, although attempts have been made to identify
him- was one of the people trapped on the upper floors of
the skyscraper who apparently chose to jump rather than die
from the fire and smoke, while the buildings collapsed. As
may as 200 people jumped to their deaths; their was no time
to recover or identify those who jumped prior to that.
Officially, all deaths in the attacks except those of the
hijackers were ruled to be homicides (as opposed to
suicides), and the New York City Medical Examiners
Office stated that it does not classify the people who fell to
their deaths on September 11 as jumpers: (A jumper is
somebody who goes to the office in the morning prepared to
commit suicide..) These people were forced out by the
smoke and flames or blown out.
This picture is somewhat deceptive; it gives the
impression that the man is falling straight down. In reality,
this is just one of a dozen photographs of his fall. In the
other photos, it is evident that he is tumbling through the air
out of control.
Five years after the attacks, Jonathan Briley, a 43year-old employee of the windows on the world restaurant,
was identified by chef Michael Lomonaco as The Falling
Man. Briely was sound engineer who lived in Mount
Vernon, New York and worked in the North Tower
restaurant. According to the film, the victim was initially
identified by his brother in the morgue by the victims hands
and shoes. Lomonaco claims tha the was able to identify
Briley by his clothes and body-type. In one of the pictures,
The Falling Mans clothes were blown away, revealing an
orange undershirt similar to the shirt that Briley wore to
work almost every day. His older sister, Gwedolyn, asserted
he was wearing that shirt on the day of the attack. However,
the identity of the Falling Man has never been officially
confirmed.
Questions :
a) Why werent the deaths of the hijackers
considered homicides?
b) Was the man jumping headlong or falling from
the Tower? Give reasons for your answer?
c) People who fell to their deaths on September 11
are not jumpers. Why?
d) How is the victims identity revealed in the film?
e) What clothing would Briley usually wear to
work?
Answers:
a) If a person is killed for personal reason is called
homicide. But hijackers lose their own life eagerly
other than personal reason. So, the deaths of the
hijackers werent considered homicides.
b) He had jumped out of the Tower. He had lost his
control. So he was falling.
c) The people who commit suicide by jumping from a
top place are jumpers. But, the people died on
September 11 really tried to escape from their
deaths. So, they are not jumpers.
d) He was identified by his brother by his hands and
shoes.
e) Briley usually would wear an orange under shirt to
work.
