Colin Sheridan: When an emergency is permanent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By September 1, 1976, Adolf Hitler had been dead for over 30 years. The Third Reich was gone. Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been destroyed and rebuilt. Germany and Japan were allies of the West. Stalin had died. JFK had visited Ireland and been assassinated. The Beatles had formed, conquered the world and broken up. Men had walked on the moon. Ireland had changed too. It had declared itself a republic, abandoned the last formal links with Britain's commonwealth, joined the United Nations and entere

Colin Sheridan: 9/11 Falling Man photo reminds us that all human lives matter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty-five years later, there are still new ways to watch the end of the old world. New angles emerge. Previously unseen footage is uploaded. Found footage emerges from an attic, or something recorded from a rooftop in Brooklyn is digitised, and once again the plane enters the frame, the fireball erupts, and eventually the towers fall.
