A man who was photographed in a famous photo of terrified New Yorkers fleeing the smoke and debris of the falling World Trade Center as it tumbled to the ground on September 11, 2001, has died of coronavirus, his family said. He was 60 at the time and photographed running with a manila envelope under his arm alongside several other men as a cloud of smoke from the hit South Tower of the World Trade Center billowed behind. Rashes said Cooper was delivering documents near the World Trade Center the morning of 9/11, clueless to the terror unfolding, when he heard a police officer yell at him, 'You have to run.' 'Every year on 9/11, he would go looking for the magazine and say, "Look, it’s here again,"' Jessica Rashes, Cooper’s 27-year-old daughter said.
