Some of those in the south tower included Joseph Visciano, whose family told news.
He had only been working for six weeks. He was training to be a trader. He was so happy he got the job. Images and footage of the horror unfolding in New York were seen around the world. But one photo captured the tragedy like no other: The Falling Man. Drew told The Telegraph that while his subject's story is still shrouded in mystery, he "likes to think of him as the unknown soldier, let him represent everyone for whom that was their fate that day".
We saw pictures of the rescuers, we saw pictures of the planes hitting the building, we saw the recovery effort and now we can also try to accept that as part of what really happened that day. As newspapers published shocking images from the most photographed and videotaped day in history, some were deemed too awful, too confronting for the public to face.
In particular, the pictures of the estimated people who fell to their death from the Twin Towers. After The New York Times ran the photo on page seven the next day, it was branded "disturbing", "exploitative" and "voyeuristic". It was struck from the record, until two years later it appeared in an Esquire article in In the days following the terrorist attack, which killed almost people, images of heroism and triumph in the midst of tragedy were emblazoned across newspaper front pages.
But as time passed, there were calls for Drew's image to be investigated; who was the Falling Man and what was his story? Captured at 9.
Toronto Globe and Mail reporter Peter Cheney, initially tasked to solve the mystery, found him to be of Latino origin, with a goatee, black pants and a white tunic; similar to that of a restaurant worker. It's possible the man worked at Windows on the World, a restaurant at the top of the North tower, which lost 79 of its employees. It's also possible he worked at catering service Forte Food, which lost 21 employees, who were mostly Indian, Arab and Latino.
Many had short hair and goatees. One of the men most often linked to Falling Man is Norberto Hernandez, who worked at Windows as a pastry chef. Cheney took the picture to his brother Tino and sister Milagros who both identified the Falling Man as Norberto. He then tried to show the image to Norberto's wife Eulogia who refused to speak with him or confirm it was her husband.
She seemed calm and relaxed, as if she had no other option but to jump. I knew I was lucky not to see her hit the pavement. When we got to the west side of the North Tower, we saw many other people jumping from the windows. Those images have stayed with me, and I often wonder what must have gone through their minds before they decided to jump. I had been there for about 20 minutes when I heard the terrible sound, like a massive tree branch breaking, as the North Tower crumbled.
I photographed it as it collapsed and it was only then, when it no longer obscured my view, that I realised the South Tower had also fallen completely. As I ran from the mayhem, I took one frame of a man kneeling on the floor crying, his shirt all torn. I switched lenses and saw a child running and screaming. I realized my digital cards were all full, so I ran a few blocks to the Getty Images office on Varick Street. There, I was uploading the contents of my memory card to a computer when we were told we needed to evacuate the building because the police suspected a bomb had been placed at the Holland Tunnel, adjacent to the office.
I left and took a taxi back to my hotel, from where I filed the photos I had taken. My newspaper ran a late edition that day and used my photos for it. For the rest of the day, I stayed in my room. I cried a lot. I remember calling my ex-wife but being barely able to speak. Between sobs, I screamed, trying to tell her how many people I had seen jump from the towers. To this day, I still have no recollection of what I did between 6pm on September 11 and the following morning.
It must have been because of the shock. When I woke up at 6am on September 12, I walked for more than 20 blocks towards the towers.
