WANTED: ONE EYEWITNESS TO HISTORY
http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com |
Have you seen this man?
I would like your help in identifying and locating the short-haired young
man whose face the Associated Press beamed worldwide last September 11 (see
nearby photo). In an award-winning picture, AP photographer Suzanne Plunkett
captured this gentleman running like hell as Tower Two of the World Trade
Center collapsed. Clad in a white shirt and dark tie with his backpack's
straps over his shoulders, he races east on Lower Manhattan's Fulton Street
with a look of sheer horror on his face as a menacing, white debris cloud
erupts up Church Street, one block to the west.

Can you identify the guy with the backpack? |
I have wondered since I saw that world-famous image who this guy is, where
he was that awful day, what he saw and how he has recovered from that trauma
(if he has). Unfortunately, Ms. Plunkett knows neither his name nor
whereabouts, nor has either of us ever seen him interviewed.
If you have any information on this man, would you please pass it along? You

Many thanks, Dear Reader, for your assistance. I will report back whatever I
happen to learn from this eyewitness to the horror of
9-11.
