Photos: World Trade Center, September 13, 2001 (Graphic intensive)

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.

So what are we doing for the 5th anniversary?

I suspect it won't make the Angry Ayatollahs happy. :)

[TMSuchman]

I will NEVER,NEVER,NEVER,NEVER forget!

BTW, Hey Iran guess what we are warming up our NUKES in their silos, so you can really see what a real holacust is!

Liberals are a nuisance to this nation. Unbelievable.

My mother's friend's son worked in WTC 7. He was on the phone with his mom that morning and told her "I have to get off the phone - there are people falling past my window".

A reminder is a good thing. Resolve!

Unfortunately, many are forgetting. I get mostly shrugs when I mention 9/11 these days. I am appalled

Same here. This was this generation's Pearl Harbor, yet there seems to be something of a collective amnesia setting in.

May the souls of those who suffered islam's perfidy rest forever in the arms of God. And may those responsible for this atrocity forever bear eternal pain and agony in the fiery pits of hell for what they've done.

Thank you very much for posting these photos. To the best of my knowledge, they have never been posted here at FR before.

No, I was being serious. Hasn't the gov or Sean Hannity planned anything? Or is this going to be swept under the rug, cos it will make us feel bad?

[Wolfstar]

Is anyone aware of any anecdotes from people who were in buildings that had debris raining down on them?

Yes, I've read several books about that day. The best, in my opinion is '108 Minutes."

Anyway, to your question: As I recall there was a hotel in the trade center complex. When debris fell, essentially cut the hotel lobby in half. Some people were trapped on the other side of the debris and died when the towers collapsed.

Someone email these to Alec Baldwin.

Why waste valuable time on a total nonentity?

I worked at Aon Corporation, in Chicago. We had offices in the second tower, the one with the antenna. Our offices were from 94 to 101. On September 11th, I came to work and picked up the phone from one of our executives who was stuck on the Brooklyn Bridge. He told me what happened and started crying and sobbing. The next call was from my husband, who told me that we were under attack and to come home.

From September 11th until February 15, 2002 (my departure date from Aon), I worked only on 9/11 activities. Answering phone calls from family members. Condolence letters. Thank you notes.

The worst was Christmas 2001 when people called and cried on the phone. I cried too.

I will never, ever forget. Everything I ever need to know about the death cult islam I learned on September 11th.

"Call me insane, but did it sorta look like those buildings came down in a controlled demolition?" Charlie Sheen, questions the official 9/11 version.

There is no "official" version. There is what anyone within view of a television set saw happen with their own eyes. Two very large planes loaded with jet fuel (and human beings) were flown deliberately into those towers, all but decapitating the buildings. With their support ripped out in the upper floors, it's a wonder the buildings stood as long as they did.

In any case, when the mangled and drastically weakened support structure finally gave way, the enormous weight of the upper floors began falling toward the ground, pancaking the lower floors under them as they went. Nothing, but nothing in those twin collapses looked like a controlled demolition. But then, I wouldn't expect a drug-addled ignoramous like Sheen to understand what he was looking at that day.

I knew a woman who worked in our offices in the WTC. Our offices were in the second tower that was hit. After the plane hit the first building, everyone was evacuated from the second building. When they reached the street level, they were sent back up to the office because the police & fire fighters were afraid the people would get hit with debris and they didn't want anyone to see the bodies falling.

The lady I knew refused to go back up because she had lived through the first bombing in 1993 (rot in hell, bill clinton) and was terrified. Her co-workers were herded back inside and begged her to come with them. She refused and went into the park. Eventually, she made her way home.

Her co-workers were never seen again.

My co-worker told me this story when she called around Christmas, 2001. Many people who did survive have experienced severe mental problems.

I will never forget. I have a ball of hatred inside my heart for the scumbag arabs, and it burns brighter every day.

I have dreams about September 11th. I think I always will. My heart broke that day and has not healed completely.

I get so angry at the idiots in the media, politicians, liberals in general (who sicken me) and some family members.

How can people ignore what happened???

I hope we strap that jackass jimmy carter to the first bomb we drop. Death from above!

Rollee, my daughters nick name. Be at peace. Know your enemy and stay close to them. This too will pass.
