Overall judges' comments:
"My feeling is this story is really about the immediacy of the event. Within that context they are trying to tell the story of this extraordinary and amazing news event. It has all the elements. In this opening picture you see the tower before it collapses."

(About the image of the building collapsing in front of the cross)
"For me, it gives the extra element. Whether we like it or not, it became an issue of religion and culture, not just a terrorist attack. ..." You see rescue, struggle, "then it has the evocative moments that he got even in the middle of this craziness. We have scenes that say a little more. ...it speaks to the immensity of the tragedy...there was basic good journalism going on...then there was good seeing. They did take it to another level. It gets sophisticated without getting 'arty.' Good balance of straight-on news and documentary. A quality of seeing that took it up a notch..." -- Cheryl Hatch
