This picture of a UPS worker delivering a package on 9/11 right after the second tower was hit is so fascinating to me. I totally would have used two buildings being blown up and the city infrastructure pausing as an excuse to not do my job. Just go back to the depot and call it a day. But no he’s bravely delivering that Backstreet Boys poster or whatever while everyone else stares at the buildings behind him in shock. Went “Well, that sucks. Can’t do anything about it I guess.”
His kids asking him where he was on 9/11 and he’s like “I was there. One block away. Didn’t see anything because I was delivering a Phantom Menace poster.”
I know I keep mentioning it but the fact the thing he’s delivering is so visibly poster shaped is so hilarious. Like if it was a big box labeled MEDICINE, KEEP REFRIGERATED or something visibly important, this photo would be a famous, used as patriotic propaganda about duty in the face of adversity. But this guy delivering what is almost certainly a poster while the South Tower collapses is almost an act of absurdism.
Unironically I think this is one of the best photos I’ve ever seen. I’m going wild over it. I want to burn it into my brain forever. This is someone the next town over from Pompeii bringing their brand new toga home while Vesuvius erupts in the distance. This is a Londoner eating dinner while the air raid sirens blast. This is anyone doing anything back in 2020, really. The action of delivering a poster may be hilariously specific but the concept is universal. This expresses some fundamental element of what it is to be human. This is art, straight up.
