Remembering Bill Biggart
A Photographer
The Only Journalist Who Never Filed His Last Story - Because He Was Still Shooting It.
At 10:28 a.m. on September 11, 2001, Bill Biggart took his last photograph.
He didn't know it was his last. He was just doing what he had always done - being exactly where history was happening, camera up, eyes open, telling the truth through his lens.
Seconds later, the North Tower fell. And with it, the only professional photojournalist working inside the collapse zone.

Never forget.
