A terrible website fail: one of the most powerful stories on 9/11 (done by @esquiremag) got put into the wrong spot. https://t.co/um7k1FbzSe

Update:

Esquire issued an apology. Or, rather, a douche-pology:

Relax, everybody. There was a stupid technical glitch on our "Falling Man" story and it was fixed asap. We're sorry for the confusion.

— Esquire (@esquire) September 11, 2013

“Relax everybody”?
