A lot of these frames were great but when we read the cutlines we felt they really didn't portray the gravity of the situation, they didn't read how many lives were lost or firefighters sent to the hospital and we really wish they had. This was true with second and third place where we liked the photo but then in reading the cutline went "Oh, it seems like this was a bigger deal"
First place was an easy winner, we've never seen two helicopters that seemed to be playing leap frog like that and the inclusion of the sign just made it a real statement piece from a spot news scene.
