Lunch Break
It’s the most dangerous yet carefree lunch break that’s ever been caught on camera: 11 men eating, chatting, and sneaking a smoke as if they weren’t 840 feet above Manhattan with nothing but a thin beam keeping them aloft. It’s the most dangerous yet playful lunch break that’s ever been captured. That sense of security is well-founded; the men in question are among the construction laborers who contributed to the building of Rockefeller Centre.

Falling Man
The images of the 9/11 attacks that were seen the most frequently were of the towers and planes. Falling Man is different. The photograph was taken by Richard Drew in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. It depicts a solitary man making his way away from the crumbling buildings and serves as a symbol of individuality against the setting of anonymous high-rises.
