is this art?

"A US artist in a harness has thrown himself off a five-storey building more than 30 times to create photographs recalling the 11 September attacks. He had the idea after seeing Twin Towers workers fall to their deaths. "I was so distraught, I needed some way to find an artistic response," he said."

I agree the photographs may be but it’s a little soon to be calling his stunt a work of art though. In time everything changes into art.
