Two weeks after the attack I came back to my apartment and saw the air full of dust and ashes, and a gaping hole at the end of Greenwich Street. The smell was indescribable, you could taste it in your mouth and feel it in your throat and eyes.

My boyfriend is from New York, and his family still lives in Long Island. His sister sent us several pictures of a daytrip she and her family had taken into the city about 2 years ago. I was scanning through some photos on the computer and found a series entitled "Tower1-8". Not sure what they were, I opened them. Needless to say, I was left breathless.
This is a limited edition Twin Towers memorial sculpture from the Danbury Mint. Behind the statue is a book about the World Trade Center, the HBO 9/11/01 Memoriam DVD, and copies of our local newspaper from September 12, 2001 and September 11, 2002.
1997 was the first trip I took to New York City. I have been to New York many times after 97 but this photo is the very first time I saw the towers. I love New York City. It is the most amazing city. Filled with energy and just vibrant. But it was Nov 15, 1997 and I took this photo from the car. I was in New York on Sept 9, 2001 and I saw the Towers driving into the city and seeing the Towers. God Bless and thank you and God Bless All.
I was visiting NYC on buisness, I laid between the towers and took this photo, after this picture was taken we went to the bar at the top of the tower.
I was at the observatory level of the Empire State Building making a 360o fotos from NY.
I ran into these cops from Las Vegas in Times Square at midnight. They were visiting NYC in early December 2001 to attend memorials for their brothers killed on September 11.
This photo was taken 9/12/01 on West Broadway with firefighting at WTC7 in the background and smoke coming from the north tower site in the far background.
Jeans in a shop near ground zero I saw while visiting Ground Zero during a business trip to New York on October 10, 2001. Almost a month after.

I took this photo from the ferry that goes from Ellis Island to the Statue of Liberty, Thanksgiving week, 1998. These were Muslim girls on a group trip.
This is a construction worker, working near Ground zero, in early December. I just loved the hat.
This photo was taken by my brother Jared 2 nights after the attack. It is taken from the remains of the footbridge.
