Part 4/7:
After taking those crucial photos, Carmen faced a new challenge—getting them into the public eye. The urgent desire to share her images and the horrific reality they captured drove her to seek a computer amidst the turmoil. The dexterity of technology in ordinary lives met adversity that day; not everyone had access to their devices as power outages plagued the area.
With help from a stranger—someone with office access to a computer—Carmen was able to send her images to local news stations, believing the world outside New York needed to see what was occurring. Surprisingly, there was no oversight from authorities, like the FBI, prior to her submission. This openness was both a privilege and a burden during those chaotic hours.
