Franklin rose to national acclaim for his coverage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York . His now iconic image of three firemen raising a flag above the rubble of the World Trade Center , taken hours after the attacks , is one of the most identifiable and powerful images in history . '' Life Magazine '' listed it as one of the " 100 Photographs That Changed the World , " and the photo is part of the permanent collection of the Library of Congress
