These photos were taken at Ground Zero, the World Trade Center site in New York, on September 13, 2001.
They were taken by someone named "Ed" who was allowed into the area by a member of the emergency response crew, at a time when all civilians -- including most journalists -- were forbidden to enter the area. As a result, these photos are just about the only close-ups ever taken of the World Trade Center site so soon after the 9/11 attacks.

Thanks for posting them, Wooley.
Too many have forgotten. Thank God, President Bush does not appear to be one of them. But our next president might be. We cannot allow that to happen.
That is only partially true. The people who did this HATE us because of our culture (or perceived lack of it) and who we are. Whether we buy their oil is irrelevant, they will still try to harm us.
It would be nice, though, to be energy independent so that would be one less factor to have to consider when dealing with some of those islamofacist animals.

Its still hard to imagine such destruction. Ive seen cities that were hit heavy with artillery and the buildings werent that devastated.

Islam has been at war against Western Culture since Muhatemed was alive. It will never change. Islam will not ever stop making war against civilized cultures. Furthermore, mankind will never do what is truly necessary to deal with them. This is another reason that I believe Christianity to be true. By the way, does anyone know if the story about Black Jack Pershing was true about how he dealt with Islam?
