"Satan in the Smoke" Emails

Good Morning Mr. Phillips, I wanted to just send you a brief comment on your picture of the "devil" in the smoke of the WTC.I think as a photographer you wait for an eternity for a photo like that one.It's one thing to know evil exists....it's quite…

I have to say I have now seen 2 pictures that depict an evil face amongst the smoke, and although it could just be circumstantial, I believe that Satan is behind this. I know that alot of people are scared...I just wonder how many of them realize…

Howdy! Saw your name on Romanesko's page today and thought, ``Nah, can't be the same Mark Phillips who used to work in Tampa.'' Sure enough. Just wanted to say howdy and to keep up the good work. I'm not far from y'all, working as an editor at…

In the King James Version of the Bible, satan is known as the angel of light. He is also one of the most beutiful angels God created. I personally don't think the devil could look like this. By the way , the picture is great.May God Bless You

Gentlemen,That was my understanding too. But the editor liked the piece so much that it is being posted as the lede center piece tomorrow morning. I agreed to let them hold it and promote it rather than bury it in a list of links. It will post…

Mark Phillips, I, too, saw that distinct image in the clouds of smoke that bellowed out of the World Trade Center towers. However, I saw it as I watched in horror on TV at my home in Georgia. It sent chills through my body and I thought that the…

I can understand the need for an income, but what I don't understand is why, on your website you will not let people save the picture of what looks like the devils face in the smoke of the burning WTC? Is there a particular reason for this? Are you…

A friend showed us the picture of  "A Face in the Smoke?" dated Sept. 17, 2001 -  3:04p with story by Susan Wells and Jack Maher. My question is how do I find this photo on the web site? Thank You. Judith Herrin

Mark I pray that this photo has not been doctored with all the technology we have. To many people have been hurt already and this is really scary if it is true. However, why weren't the Heavenly images above the picture also shown so that the…

Dear Mr. Phillips,   Thank you for sharing this picture.  Whatever it is, whoever it is, I believe you have captured something on film that should give us all reason to give some thought to where our hearts are spiritually.   Thanks again,   Angela…

That picture has been altered if you ask me...........this is not a time to BS  Americans.

Our hearts and thoughts and prayers are with you.  I lost a child in a random act of violence.  I wish I was closer to be their to comfort all dealing with this tradedy so close up and with lives and families.  God Bless Sandi

Mark,I noticed a face (in the smoke) of an evil grinning Arab while watching TV shortly after the collapse. The image appeared for at least 15 seconds and my wife saw it also. I'm waiting for that to be uncovered. Makes your shot look…
