Interesting but harrowing pics of 9/11

[scatz]

These pictures I believe have only just been made available to the public and were taken from an NYPD helicopter. Thay make for some rather interesting but harrowing viewing!

Great link mate.

Great pics but as you say, a very harrowing subject.

Seeing places that I have stood so much clearer in these shots brings it home a bit.

I was on top of the World Trade Towers 6 months before this happened, went there for my 25th birthday for a 4 day break.

Sad day, I was having my central heating system replaced in my old house and myself and the workman just stopped and watched it, and could comprehend what was going on

I was buying a pair of Golf Shoes at Holtye. I had been listening to CD's all day in the car and had no idea what was going on. It was only after I had paid for the shoes that it was even mentioned. I felt awful.

I won't forget where I was that day, and you won't believe it.

I was diamond drilling on the 51st floor (plant room) at the top of Canary Wharf !! (THEE building that would have probably got it if they had attacked the UK.
A security guard stopped me from working and told me "the building needs to be evacuated immediately sir, due to security reasons".
I assumed it may have been a bomb scare or something similar and on the way home 4 friends phoned me to tell me of the twin tower event.

I have a good mate who owns a very successful employment agency in London and he lost 19 friends in NY that day.

Great photos but brings it all back. Such a sad loss of life that day.

I remember I was out of work two days prior to the events. That afternoon I was channel flicking and came across a building on fire on the CNN channel. I watched the second plane hit live on TV.

It's not often I am left without a word to say. But that did.

I'll never forget the moment the buildings came down. Watching people run for there lives was as the title. Harrowing.

RIP all those souls lost.

We were preparing to fly out to Sicily the next day (12th), and were packing. Needless to say Gatwick was a bit "odd" the next day, and we didn't even know for a while whether we would get away.

We had been up the twin towers less than a year before, so it was very personal.
