Falling Man, 2001: The most widely seen images from 9/11 are of planes and towers, not people. Falling Man is different. The photo, taken by Richard Drew in the moments after the September 11, 2001, attacks, is one man’s distinct escape from the collapsing buildings, a symbol of individuality against the backdrop of faceless skyscrapers. On a day of mass tragedy, Falling Man is one of the only widely seen pictures that shows someone dying. The photo was published in newspapers around the U.S. in the days after the attacks, but backlash from readers forced it into temporary obscurity. It can be a difficult image to process, the man perfectly bisecting the iconic towers as he darts toward the earth like an arrow. Falling Man’s identity is still unknown, but he is believed to have been an employee at the Windows on the World restaurant, which sat atop the north tower. #history

The Sheriff's Department of Los Angeles County was formed in April, 1850. Elections for the office of Sheriff were held annually until 1882, when the term was increased to two years; in 1894 the term was increased to four years. The first Sheriff of Los Angeles County was George T. Burrill and his staff consisted of two Deputies. Twenty-four men have served Los Angeles County as Sheriff since 1850: nineteen were elected and six were appointed by the Board of Supervisors to serve the unexpired term of their predecessors. Two were killed in the line of duty. Of those appointed, four were re-elected to the office. The youngest man ever elected to the office of Sheriff was William B. Rowland, who was sworn in when he was 25 years old (in 1871), and was re-elected three times. The record for the longest consecutive service goes to Sheriff Eugene Biscailuz, who completed 51 years in the department, from deputy in 1907, to being appointed Sheriff in 1932 and then retiring in 1958.

The opening of the Suez Canal in Egypt, November 1869. After many failed attempts, it was built under the direction of France with an international team. Much of the earlier labour used on it was forced, leading to disputes and strikes. It was built in just under ten years, four years behind schedule. The small size meant it had to be made larger in 1876. #History

Today marks the 82nd commemoration of the Pearl Harbor attack. On December 7, 1941, the peaceful Honolulu, was viciously attacked by a foreign threat. Our U.S military service members woke up to a blitzkrieg assault that intended to stun our nation. Instead, the attack triggered our nation and joined the allied forces to help end #WWII.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department honors those courageous brave souls who fought back during the battle, and we remember those who lost their lives that fateful morning. #History #PearlHarbor
