10The Falling Man (2001)
One of the most haunting images ever captured, “The Falling Man” depicts a person falling from the North Tower of the World Trade Center during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Taken by photographer Richard Drew, this photograph humanizes the unimaginable horror of that day. The image is often viewed as a symbol of the personal devastation that millions experienced in the aftermath of the attacks. The anonymity of the man, frozen in a free fall, serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of human life in the face of global tragedies.
