Extra Credit: story behind the falling man in 9/11

In this story, the writer is questioning to find the famous man in the 'falling man' picture in 9/11. Many families were devastated about the loss of their loved ones, but it's almost painful to read how when a family was told the falling man was their father, family members were calling the man a coward, and refusing to believe that that was their father. The author tries to capture the varying reactions of families in this article, and it can easily be seen how different people's views were. I was taken aback by how some families were mad or ashamed at the possibility of their family member jumping from the building, rather than staying to be burned alive. I think it's unfair for people to judge others' bravery in those situations since they had never been but in a position where the only possibilities for a person are two ways to die. This picture should not have been rejected from the press, as it captures the essence of the disturbing event.
