the loss of an icon

comments welcomed...

It saddens me to see the helpless gestures of the men in the foreground. A structure such as this... it probably never entered their mind that it would be destroyed. It's like presenting a horrible new reality.

This is one of those shots that would be enhanced with more of the story shared. To take such a tragic scene and shoot it with beauty and technical accuracy is an accomplishment. That combined with capturing the action high point make this a tremendous shot.
