Re: Skydiving in the Hood

i love those caught in the moment pic's too,
i find myself trying to think what they would be thinking at that very moment, they are so sereal, i'd of prefered not to know the outcome, and have my own thoughts, still, that's defo out of the fire and into the frying pan, sad, but good post.lad
Imagine being that woman, in mid fall, looking down and seeing a camera pointing up at you. Must make it all the more frightening.

Re: Skydiving in the Hood

Just found the details about the photos

On July 22, 1975, Stanley J. Forman took this infamous photograph while working for the Boston Herald. He climbed on the back of a fire truck as it raced towards a reported fire at Marlborough Street. Just as the crew had arrived at the scene, a young woman and small girl fell from an apartment above. The woman died instantly, but the young girl lived. This photo earned Forman a Pulitzer prize, and in addition, convinced Boston and several other cities to introduce more comprehensive fire safety
