“Confusing” 9/11 Photo

I thought this was an interesting debate, so I thought I’d post a link to it…

“On Sunday, Sept. 10, Frank Rich of the New York Times wrote a column (TimesSelect only) about a “shocking” 9/11 photograph by Thomas Hoepker. The picture, which was taken on the Brooklyn waterfront the afternoon of 9/11, is reproduced here. On Tuesday, Slate’s David Plotz criticized Rich’s analysis of the photo. Yesterday, one of the people in the picture, Walter Sipser, wrote to Slate to take issue with Rich and Hoepker’s interpretations. Today, the photographer himself joins the debate.”
