July 22, 1975 marked a turning point in the career of Boston Herald photographer Stanley Foreman. Foreman was finishing a usual day of city photography when he received a call about a fire. The fire broke out in an old part of the city. There have been rumors that people may be trapped inside the building. Foreman followed fire trucks to the scene. Urged by an intuition, he circled the row houses. There, he saw firefighter Bob O'Neil trying to save two people trapped on the fifth floor fire escape. A 2-year-old girl and her 19-year-old godmother stood at the fire escape waiting to be rescued. Foreman positioned himself to take photos of what he expected to be a routine rescue. But to his great surprise, there was a loud noise that changed all that. The fire escape gave way before O'Neil could save the girl and her godmother. O'Neil was about to save both girls. Foreman captured this event through the lens of his 135mm lens. He took four photos of the two men falling, then turned away before they hit the ground. The godmother, Diana Bryant, broke the fall of the girl, Tiare Jones, but lost her life a few hours later, Tiare survived. Forman learned that Bryant died within hours of developing and delivering his photos to the newspaper. With Bryant now dead, he didn't know if the newspaper would publish the photos. But the next morning, at 2 a.m., he saw the first morning edition with his photo covering almost the entire front page. And the rest of his photos appeared on page 3. Foreman then made a series of prints for the Associated Press at 4 a.m. And his photos were seen around the world the next day. The publication of the photos led many cities to improve inspection and papermaking......had such an amazing instinct that could not go unnoticed. But when news broke that Bryant had died, extra sensitivity should have been added. If both victims had survived, I believe the photo would have had the right to make all the headlines. Their survival should have been celebrated with a great story. But once one of the victims was pronounced dead, the picture should have been toned down. I think it should still have been placed on the front page, but in a more elegant size. Ultimately, I believe that an appropriate amount of information was disclosed. The public depends on the media to inform them of the dangers. And in this case, that's exactly what Foreman did. He may have done it louder than necessary, but the story needed to be told. And to inform the public of the dangers linked to emergency exits, the whole truth had to be told..
