Most expressive pic of all pics. No matter your color, caste, religion, when such in-human and horrifying thing occurs, we all weep and bleed same color.

Looking at all these pictures gives me goosebumps and flash backs to that day

Burning to death is the most painful thing, and it isn't any wonder that so many choose a quick death over the ultimate torture.

This does not surprise me at all. When I was in graduate school I worked the midnight shift at UPS, in Knoxville. Everything was 100% about getting the packages shipped and delivered. Management never slowed down. Everyone worked non stop from the moment they clocked in until they clocked out. In other words, you were paid well, but earned every penny made. Its the most 'workaholic' company in the world, I kid you not.

I am sure who ever took this pic, will never forget the view entire life. Horrific, terrible and sad.

I recall there being very little footage of the first plane hitting, so this might be amongst that scarce record.

omg, this is so unreal. wonder how this person or camera survived. I have never seen any pic before captured at this angle showing tower collapse. OP must be couple of hundred meters near or less than the base of building.

I wonder if that cross was still standing post both buildings collapsed.

I'm an fervent Atheist, but I find this picture so strong in it's destructive and painful aesthetic. knowning all the human lives loss, the pain and the suffering makes it even more peaceful and disturbing. These lives have been destroyed by people putting religion before human life. All religions have blood on their hands, the catholic church more than any others since 2300 years. The extremisms have shifted. They use modern weapons nowadays, but the goal is the same.

This isn’t Trinity, it’s St George’s Catholic Church at the corner of Church and Barclay Streets.

There is something not quite right about this pic if you look to the left and they way it’s joined to the building on the left I doubt this is genuine picture

That cross represents the reason for the sight behind it

Scary thing about this photo is how God didn't stop this. I think he had a learning point for us when he did that. God would never ignore things like this :(

this one is ps...

Amazing how plane impact, jet fuel and office fire damage to the top twenty percent of a modern steel skyscraper, representing just 6% of the total structural steel by weight, managed to turn the other 94% of undamaged steel to dust in a heartbeat. Perhaps unbelievable is a better characterization.

None of them seem aware :/

I would probably print this and hang in my study as a reminder of world is not a fair place. So many peaceful and innocent lives were lost this day, so many people lost their loved ones, and for what?

Who would have thought? Walking on a busy street, the weather is nice and sunny. You click a picture of your son and suddenly see the tragedy at the background. Really sad.

To be and feel alone, with that behind you. Absolutely devastating.

What a strong picture!

One of the scariest accounts I've read on 9/11 is that of a woman who worked nearby and lived not-so-nearby. In her mind, the most horrifying was the smell of burnt debris and people that engulfed te city in the following days. I can see why now.

O' dear lord, please spare me from seeing such images again in my lifetime, or my children or anyone after that. It scarred me for life, don't want to happen with this anyone, anymore.

how there was not more damage to the buildings surrounding them, or was there?

why I can't find anything to comment on this pic, is it because this picture is such a contrast of what is happening. One side is disaster, loss of innocent lives, and one side there is a new life booming and making its way into such unpredictable world. what thoughts must be going inside that mother's mind, only a mother would know.

But what did it mean to them...no radio???...no news????...They may have thought it was an office fire...very much doubt they were aware of the tragedy and continued so casually....

so sad!

sometimes its so hard to believe those 2 buildings collapsed like dominos. It feels like it happened yesterday.
