I think I only ever saw it in the book Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. I do remember it from that occasion, however. Pretty memorable photo.

I have no idea what it has to do with startups or technology, though.




It doesn't have to have anything to do with startups or technology to be here. It just has to be interesting to hackers.


In the book, that falling man was the kids father? I read it awhile ago and can't really recall the exact details of his father's death.


No (at least I didn't get that impression). I think it was just used as a symbol for everyone lost. The kids father did die in the WTC.
