Jarvis on falling

Jeff Jarvis started his blog BuzzMachine after September 11, 2001. Yesterday he wrote a wonderful essay, Falling

There is one image of September 11th that I have said I could not and would not talk about:

The falling.

The image is too awful to recall, too painful to relate, even now, three years later. Instead, I remember the sounds: the sudden and horrifying realization of what we were witnessing heard through the airless, paralyzed gasps all around; the terrible sound that punctuated each life; the stifled, staccato screams then.

Read it, and never forget.
