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.

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.

Damn well know it wasn't a terrorist attack from someone out of this country but from someone within the states.. conspiracy all over

Don't forget building 7. It wasn "hit" yet collapsed in a controlled demolition.

I was in Australia, working at the Darwin Airport NT I was about to start my shift in the cafe and I remember parking the car and seeing police and security everywhere they came into the eatery and removed all the cutlery is was surreal

Ho hijackings, no hijackers, no Bin Laden no Al Qaeda, just CGI graphics and lies

Just imagine....people were at their desks...preparing for the day, most likely doing something to help fellow Americans lives continue thru financial services....etc and I'm sure there's people who are inside the smoke ...falling right along with the towers.

Conspirators still call it suspicious that other buildings collapsed.

These poor people are slays in my mind. I saw this n the today show,, and I was horrified as the first plan e hit. I kept asking myself, why is this pilot so close, he will crash. Then it happened. Those poor people burning alive, no ay out. I cried for days.

None could even think these building could collapse in such short time... Not even the terrorists I presume.

No credible official explanation as to why WTC #7 collapsed.
