9/11 Tribute Livestream with Robert Cumins
Though known for the photograph he took on September 11, 2001, Robert A. Cumins has worked as a well traveled photographer for more than 40 years. But it was this one image that would define his career more than anything else. The moment he stepped out to his ninth-floor balcony, 15 miles to the west, he shot a burst of images of United Airlines Flight 175, one taken a fraction of a second before the hijacked jetliner hit the south tower of the World Trade Center. That photograph landed on the cover of People Magazine, a double-page spread.

It is now part of the permanent '9/11 Gallery' exhibit at the Newseum in Washington, DC. And, it continues to be on display at the 9/11 Tribute Center in lower Manhattan. The photograph also won the National Press Photographer's Association Picture of the Year in the Attack on America Category.
In American Photo Magazine, where Cumins's photo won best of the year, documentary photographer Steve McCurry wrote: "The starkness of it really reduces the elements to their most basic and fundamental...Graphically, it also came together for the photographer. It's a grainy image, but that doesn't matter because the subject is so powerful....The moment's there, the composition is there, and the fact that it's a silhouette reduces it to the essentials - skyline, smoke and the impending crash." The American Society of Magazine Editors wrote; The airwaves were flooded with video footage, but this still shot served as one of the eeriest images to come out shortly after the attacks—and a reminder of the power and emotion that comes with stopping time.
