AHL So in your opinion it was wrong that the image was pulled?

HS The taboo surrounding people who fell from the sky does a great disservice to them and a great disservice to their families. As Tom Junod points out in the film, these people were swept under the carpet as if they didn’t exist.

AHL Does the disappearance of the jumpers speak to a larger human truth? And what would that be?

HS The image, and the whole notion of the jumpers, was something that people didn’t speak about in the aftermath. Its like how suicide is regarded—you just don’t talk about it. That kind of stigma is painful. The jumpers weren’t acknowledged. And there is nothing worse than not being acknowledged.

You asked what the truth of the image is? I don’t know what the truth of the image is. But there is no question that the image forces you to confront the very painful idea of being that high in the sky and having to make that decision. And I think most people, very naturally, don’t want to confront that.
