Title A name given to the resource "Satan in the Smoke" Emails Description An account of the resource On the morning of September 11, immediately after two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in Manhattan, photojournalist Mark D. Phillips took a picture that would prove to be one of the most evocative and disputed images of that tragic day. Many peple later construed the image of the smoke in his photo of the burning buildings to compose the face of Satan. These e-mails related to this picture provide a revealing portal into Americans' responses to the attacks in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.

Honored with numerous prizes for his journalism, he has the complete backing of authenticity by the Associated Press in this and any other assignment he has completed for them over many years. >>Whether viewers tend to see something in this or any of his photographs, casting doubt, through language, upon his honesty is completely inappropriate.
