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.

Hi, My name is Jackie Chin and I have only just seen the picture this morning Friday that is. I not only noticed the grim image in the center of the photo, but also noticed something else...along the side of the building there are what appears to be little blue streaks of light, specifically two of them that I noticed clearly away from the smoke filled inside. I do energy work specifically Reiki...www.lkwdpl.org/lfiles/chin and have done energy work since the age of 12. I noticed when looking at your picture that I felt very strongly that it was in no way shape or form changed by a human touch. I would like to share a short story that happened to me when I was 22 years of age. I had to go to CA for a few weeks for a family matter. My spouse, stayed at home. The nite that I returned from my trip I was upstairs in my bed room laying on the bed just tryin to relax from jet lag. The dimmer switch on my bed lamp was on high so I dimmed the light. Then I went back to tryin to relax as I was laying there my gaze went to the wall I began to see an image appearing. I thought man that is some jet lag now I am seeing things, but a short while later I thought otherwise. I dimmed the light even more and the image became brighter on the wall. It was shaping out to become a skull and rather daunting. I yelled for my spouse to come upstairs. He and his friend came up and I asked him if he saw anything on the wall. His reply was "Yes, there is an image of a skull with horns on it, and I have been talking to it while you were gone." I almost shit my pants right there. I went and grabbed the holy oil and holy water I had in the house from a sacred place and with all my strength and conviction in GOD I lathered it on my hand and slapped the wall. I then said a prayer and away it went never to be seen again. I have never seen anything like that before and hoped to never again. Your picture reminded me that the Evil One is still here and is greatly rejoicing in the recent events. However, There Are ANGELS there still to this day assisting those who have met their untimely demise. If you could respond to this e-mail I would appreciate it if only to say Hi. GOD BLESS YOU and your family. Jackie Chin From Lakewood, Ohio Tilung8@aol.com September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.
