Particularly strange is a widely circulated photo of a young man on the World Trade Center observation deck, a plane looming just yards behind and below him. It has clearly been manipulated (the man is wearing a parka and ski hat on what was an 81[degrees] day, plus the observation deck wasn't open yet on the morning of Sept. 11).

As a New York firefighter grabbed his hat and prepared to dive back into the dust and debris, a reporter asked why in the world he was returning. He replied that he was not trying to be a hero but was simply trying to save his friends and colleagues inside the disaster zone. “I think you’d do the same,” he said...
