Poutavé vylíčení celé katastrofy, které neváhá ani oceňovat zásluhy, ani ukazovat prstem. Autoři oslavují mimořádný potenciál obyčejných lidí. Tato svižná fotografická próza odhaluje dimenze pekla - a lidskosti. Příběh lidí bojujících o přežití uvnitř World Trade Center.
"New York Times" reporters Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn capture the little-known stories of ordinary people who took extraordinary steps to save themselves and others inside the World Trade Center on September 11--the saga of the nearly 12,000 who escaped and the 2,749 who perished.
De strijd om te overleven in het World Trade Center door de ogen van degenen die zich in de torens bevonden
Relaas van de gebeurtenissen op 11 september 2001 in New York toen twee gekaapte vliegtuigen zich in de torens van het World Trade Center boorden, geschreven vanuit het perspectief van de mensen in de torens en de reddingswerkers.
In 2010, four NYU undergrads wanted to build a social network that would allow users to control the information they shared about themselves, instead of surrendering their privacy to big businesses like Facebook. Their project was called 'Diaspora.' Before long they had raised £200,000. In a matter of days, the Diaspora Four had received a global commission to re-bottle the genie of personal privacy. But, faced with too many challenges, they couldn't get there. When one member committed suicide in the fall of 2011, they found out how much they had all been on their own.
