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.

Thank you.
The picture of "police and troops guarding site" was where I stood and looked at the wreckage, on the day we commenced operations in Afghanistan. IIRC Oct 7, 2001.
I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a nightmare.
Never forget.
Thank you.
Self-ping.
NEVER FORGET.
9/11
You better add support for Israel in there, for accuracy...
Islam picked the wrong target: it should have been porno-Hollywood.
Comparing 9/11 to Pearl Harbor ... one has to wonder how it is the our parents/grandparents NEVER FORGOT .. and they didn't have tv in their homes, didn't have live footage other than newsreels, didn't, in fact, see it happen live in a major US city.
Of course, they DID have a patriotic Hollywood making pro-American movies and a more patriotic media. More important, imo, may be that all families had an investment in the war effort. It wasn't restricted to volunteers from families unknown to our media elite. Just a thought.
Never Forget!
Thank you wtc911.Bump.
Actually, if you look closely at some of the pics, you can see where the CIA planted the charges.

Okay Charlie, you got it. YOU'RE INSANE!
You know (sarc on) That's just what my good buddy, Michael Moore was telling me the other day.

This had nothing to do with the Saudis. Richard Minitier's books have shown that OBL had been planning and attempting to carry out attacks against the U.S. BEFORE the Gulf War, and has never really cared about Saudi Arabia per se. He needed a devil to focus on, and we were it. (See his book "Disinformation")
One of the most obscene decisions by all the authorities is to have treated us like children those horrible few days, and prevented the American people from seeing the carnage, the result of the Muslim Mass Murder, for ourselves...
bttt
It is really frustrating to go to a site and not be able to download these videos to our local hard drives, to share with as many others as possible.
I think that the Able Danger was an official coverup conducted by the Democrats to keep the Clinton administration from looking bad. The Democrats are using 9/11 as a political tool.
As for the rest, I think that there are things that we don't know, but we don't know them because they're military and diplomatic secrets. For example, they still haven't released all of the documents from WWII for reasons of national securiity. Few, if any, of us will see everything released on 9/11 in our lifetimes.
