Originally published in 2011, an article about an infamous photo of a man in mid-flight after jumping from the World Trade Centre also raises some interesting points n how much our world has changed since 2001 and raises some questions on how it might have been different had a similar disaster occurred in 2014? Would the man have tweeted his intention before jumping? Would he have been “checked in” on FourSquare? Could he have quickly video taped a farewell video for his family? Would the photo itself have gone viral instead of being immediately quashed a day after being printed in newspapers across the country and still, to this day, scrubbed from popular consciousness for the most part?
