The Falling Man is the photograph taken by Richard Drew at 9:41:15 a.m., on September 11, 2001 showing one of the many men jumping from the WTC towers. The photograph provoked feelings of anger in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks, particularly in the United States. It ran only once in many American newspapers because they received critical and angry letters from readers who felt the photo was exploitative, voyeuristic, and disrespectful of the dead. This led to the media's self-censorship of the photograph, preferring instead to print photos of acts of heroism and sacrifice.

Jonathan Briley, a 43-year-old sound engineer who lived outside of Manhattan, in Mount Vernon, and worked in the North Tower restaurant, was identified by chef Michael Lomonaco as The Falling Man. According to the documentary he was also identified by his brother in the morgue by his orange t-shirt and shoes.
