Guess I'm one of the few so far that read this thing to the end. I found it very interesting in the fact is shows how different people deal with their grief.

I agreed with the point that the displaying of these things was/is "too soon". I also agreed with the poster that said these things need to be shown. I found it really disturbing that the news media at one point actually pretended it never happened. Just reinforces the false news we get every day. It happened. It is terrible but it happened. Should it be shown "live on TV", no.

If it had been my husband or brother would I have looked at the pictures. I can't say. My closest and best friend died this summer. Do I want to see pictures of her at the end? No.

Well, like I said, I found the article interesting in the fact it made me think on all these issues.

What I saw was the author making an honest effort to find out who the falling man was. He spent a lot of time investigating. He spent time philosophizing about the falling man in the greater context. He did more than OK. This is about as good as it gets at Esquire
