#Fall is a series of posters about shocking moments caught on camera of people fall to death trying to escape.

1970
On February 24, 1970, Keith Sapsford, a 14-year-old boy from Australia, died when he fell 200 feet (60 meters) out of the wheel-well of a DC-8 owned by Japan Airlines as it took off from Sydney, Australia on a flight to Tokyo, Japan.

2001
The Falling Man captured a man jumping to his death from the World Trade Center to avoid being burned alive during the September 11 attacks in New York City (2001). The subject of the image was trapped on the upper floors of the North Tower and either fell searching for safety or jumped to escape the fire and smoke.

2021
Desperate Afghans clung to the side of a moving US military plane leaving Kabul airport, with at least two apparently falling to their deaths after the Taliban swept into Kabul on 15 August 2021 bringing an end to a two-decade campaign in which the U.S. and its allies had tried to transform Afghanistan.
