Interpretation:
This image is one of many that were taken on that tragic day of September 11, 2001, when America was attacked. Nachtwey's image is an extremely moving piece of history. It also it sort of ironic in the considering the South towering is in the process of falling and in front the horror is one of the most famous symbols of religion, the crucifix. It is almost as it the picture is portraying to people that God must have intended for this disaster to happen and is watching over everyone. The image is also interesting because it has the symbols of religion and disaster which is home many of our global issuses and conflicts have started or what they orignially have stemed from.
