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.

Phillips: Your photo of the World Trade Center burning and the displayed image of Satan within the photo might be an alarming Sardonic message >from Satan. Of course it s just a thought, I don t know. I am not that serious in religion, but I think about those things. It is interesting that signs do show up >from time-to-time of the Influence of God and Satan. (The reported thirteen apparitions of the Virgin Mary in times past. I think it was thirteen.) (Your photo.) I think another incident reported on CNN video was astounding too. It was the finding of a bible, intact, and amongst the totally destroyed fiery remains of everything around an area being searched at the World Trade Center. I think that was yesterday or before. It was reported to be unharmed, I think. Any way, I wish you had that bible photographed and added to your photo of Satan along with a story about them. Those two incidents are significant. Cordially, Gerald Robert Patten PS; I accidently sent you this without the message inserted. ----- Original Message ----- <bold>From:</bold> Gerald Patten <bold>To:</bold> info@stellarimages.com <bold>Sent:</bold> Wednesday, September 19, 2001 11:42 AM Jerry Patten September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.
