Bill Biggart

Bill Biggart (born William G. Biggart, July 20, 1947 – September 11, 2001) was an American photojournalist and victim of the September 11th attacks, notable for the street-view photographs he took of the event before being killed by the collapse of the World Trade Center's North Tower, and for being the only working photojournalist to perish in the attacks. Four days after his death, his remains were discovered along with a bag containing his cameras and the CompactFlash card from which the famous photos were recovered. Since their discovery, the photos have been featured in the October 15, 2001 issue of Newsweek[1] and can be seen on the Internet.[2]

At the National 9/11 Memorial, Biggart is memorialized at the South Pool, on Panel S-66.[3]
