WARNING: I did not take this picture and I am not trying to pass it off as my own. The credit should be given to the photographer Matthew McDermott. I thought it deserved to be here to be seen by everyone. It's powerful and beautiful, yet sad. Soooo, you can ignore the "All Rights Reserved" on this because it belongs to him. Now, just admire his great work and leave me alone.

	Dugfresh says: You really should be sending your praise of this photo to the photographer who actually took it. Posted 25 months ago. ( permalink )
	Toribear5 says: Dugfresh- I posted this picture a long time ago when I didn't know we were only supposed to post pics we actually took. I have said it's a public domain picture and i have the guy's name still in the bottom corner. I just wanted everyone to see it. I'll change the title to be fair....you don't have to get snippy...it's not in the spirit of the photo. Posted 25 months ago. ( permalink )
	Dugfresh says: I do not believe I was being snippy in my comment. I was simply commenting on the fact that the praise of taking the photo belongs soley to the actual photographer. I never inferred that you shouldn't post the photo, which you shouldn't. I simply stated that credit should be given where credit is due. Most of the people commenting on this photo appear to be misled to believe that you took the photo whether you intended that or not.. which I don't believe you did. Posted 25 months ago.

	desmondsdoll says: Oh my God! This photo made me cry! Also, can I just say - can everyone please stop this bout of nastiness that seems to have started - this photo epitomises human beings caring about one another and showing love and care for strangers and some of these comments seem to be doing the opposite. I don't know if Toribear5 has made any changes since the previous comment was posted, but come on guys - let's all agree that it's a fabulous and thought-provoking photo, no matter who took it! xxx Posted 18 months ago.

	Dugfresh says: Still doesn't change the fact that its used without permission. You can search for this photo and many others like it on their owners respective sites where they were licensed legally. And yes.. when I saw this photo in a magazine in print, it made me cry too. Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )
	cSc - formerly Paint with light says: what makes me cry is that there was NEVER a proper investigation about how those buildings suddenly collapsed... when the firemen had reached the fire they were recorded saying that it would only take two engines to put out the flames...!! That doesn't sound like a fire that is hot enough to bring down a 110 story building in 1.5 hours!! Yes, this picture is sad. As is the fact that we lost 3000 lives that day. But even sadder is that the perpetrators of this horrendous event are still at large. Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )
	desmondsdoll says: Yes, you're right! It is even sadder that the perpertrators are still at large. Sad and very frightening! Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )
	ginnyrmail@yahoo.com says: Today is 9-11. My husband was a firefighter for 30 years. He has always been my hero. All of his fire fighting brothers and sisters throughout the whole world are my heroes too. Love for all is the solution. Worldwide peace is the answer. Posted 13 months ago. ( permalink )
	desmondsdoll says: GOD BLESS TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SUFFERED THROUGH THIS ATROCITY! I SHALL BE TAKING TIME OUT TO THINK OF YOU ALL TODAY xxxx Posted 13 months ago. ( permalink )
