One of the most unforgettable images from 9/11 was a photograph of a falling man, frozen in mid-air against the twin towers of the World Trade Center. It was taken by the AP's Richard Drew, who decades earlier was one of only four photographers to record Bobby Kennedy's assassination. At first, the Falling Man photo ran in newspapers around the world, but by the next day it was erased from history in a case of mass self-censorship. Falling Man the film is a philosophical detective story that show more seeks to discover the identity of the man and to give memorial to the unknown victims of the tragedy. By the end, it comes face to face with the mythos of the plucky American character and replaces it with something much more winning and complex. (PS)

This ranks high among the magazine articles I have ever read. I have watched hours of the interview of men who survived, now these short biographies of the families of the men who hao did not, and story of the men themselves.Then details about the blowup. A detail I had not read elsewhere, the rig was built 10 years ago in Korea and some of the men working on it went to Korea to learn about it before it was finished. Tremendous reporting
