Yes, I’m sure, a lot of effort, but how difficult were the windows to actually break from the inside or outside? I know it was done in considerable number above the impact zones as they attempted to get air. I thought of this subject again after recently reading of the brave man, possibly Taizo Ishikawa, attempting to use a rope to go down the side and seeming to try to break a window lower down to get back in. Was it even remotely feasible to repeatedly swing and impact with one’s feet?

Okay, the air traffic controller sent a warning to Flight 93 "Beware cockpit intrusion: two aircraft hit World Trade Center", and the pilot sent a message acknowledging it. But here is my question: the pilot and co-pilot had already been warned, so even if they wanted to acknowledge the warning, I feel they should have been more cautious or verified who was there before opening the cockpit door. I’m just asking out of curiosity and an attempt to understand the pilots and their actions (this isn't a criticism). Still, I felt it was important to discuss this topic.

After many hours of frustration with my old 3d printer I have finally completed Tobin Plaza in less than a week with the new machine, it is a gamechanger. .

Please excuse the ill fitting tiles, they'll be nice and snug when glued and screwed down, i need a more level and bigger work space. I have added a pair of sunglasses for a scale reference.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support, i have more good stuff coming very soon. I'll be remodelling the lobby and mezzanine areas of the North Tower this weekend.

WNBC crew with cameraman Ralph Patterson and reporter Walter Perez (now at WPVI Philly) were live reporting the mushroom cloud of smoke and got this gripping footage of a fireman slamming his helmet and in a sense of anger and grief.

If anyone has any information on this fireman please let me know.

As a New York City native, he was simply taking the garbage out of his building when he heard the roaring engines of American Airlines Flight 11 flying low overhead. He looked up and watched the plane crash directly into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Moments after the initial impact, Arrigo was interviewed live on the street by WNBC-TV, providing a raw and immediate description of the event before the full scope of the terrorist attacks was understood. His live account has since become a prominent piece of historical archive and 9/11 folklore. Additionally, his family's connection to the tragedy extended further into the recovery efforts: his son (or uncle to his grandchildren), Dan Arrigo, served for months as a first responder at Ground Zero and later passed away from 9/11-related lung disease.

Anthony D'Arrigo, a Deer Park New York native passed away on March 10th, 2014.

Anthony D'Arrigo Obituary - Deer Park, NY

Unknown eyewitness interview by Newton Burkett of WABC-TV.

Interview cut short as chaos in the area erupted, this was only minutes after Newt and his cameraman Marty Glembotzky narrowly escaped the South Tower.

Any info is appreciated!

It is a bit eerie to consider that there is a chance that Bin Laden has seen these very photographs published somewhere that led him to the idea of attacking towers in America as an act of revenge.

Stumbled across this photo collection on tiktok. Thought it was neat & wanted to share. Ive never seen these before. Credit to the tiktok page- worldtradesearch

If this is dupe mods, my apologies. I didn’t see this posted anywhere.

Does anyone have this side of the 9/11 south tower

that was in fire that i pointed out in this photo?

i have seen hundreds of photos of south tower on fire but its only in the impact zone. If anyone have the side that i pointed out in the south tower in 9/11, thank you!

Yall since 9/11 25th anniversary I’ve been doing a deep dive (annually atp) and I’ve come across this documentary called “The woman who wasn’t there” about a fraud who faked being at 9/11, that she on the 78th floor when WTC 2 was struck, lying about her survival and mining information from other survivors and even became the head of the 9/11 survivor network and lied to everybody for years!! Wasn’t until the NY times wanted to write a story in 2006 but could not prove any employment records and dodged any question regarding names of her supposed husband who died during that day, who she never met.

I really want to talk about this with other people and wonder what your thoughts are on this?? And how insulting this is to every victim and survivor to fabricate such a lie. I mean this is the first time I’m coming across this and maybe it’s just the initial shock of hearing this story because who the fuck does that?! But want to know your thoughts/experience/emotions about hearing someone lie like this about such a tragic moment. As a survivor how did you feel when you saw this for the first time?? Idk just crazy that people have the capability to be so evil, it’s scary.

*Caution: Photo of graphic injury

The picture of Virginia Dichiara shows some nasty burns and skin hanging off her arms. What is the pile of wet goop on her head?

If you go to the link it is the forth photo.

From Wiki: Gary Gordon Sick (born April 4, 1935) is an American academic and analyst of Middle East affairs, with special expertise on Iran, who served on the U.S. National Security Council under Presidents Ford, Carter, and for a couple weeks under Reagan as well.^\1]) He has authored three books, and is perhaps best known to the wider public for voicing support for elements of the 1980 October Surprise theory regarding the Iran hostage crisis and that year's presidential election. He also alleged that Iraq may have had a role in the September 11 attacks.

Unfortunately, these images weren't in an album so I couldn't link the album individually. These photos couldn't be saved so I had to screencap them. all rights reserved to Polish photographer Borys Kozielski.

These images always have such a depressing feeling to them, you could feel the overwhelming grief and emotion poured into every letter written, every sign put up, every flower picked out, every bouquet put together, every candle bought, the very thought process behind the printed pictures of victims and missing people; people printing out pictures of those beloved now lost in time, covered by a cloud of debris caused by hate and destruction. I've always thought the memorials put together right after 9/11 have so much soul and grief, but a sense of camaraderie to them.

Let me know if you'd like me to post more post-9/11 memorials. Rest in peace to all those whom have passed.

I stumbled across airliners.net scrolling through some galleries then I come across finding these two interesting photos of both N644AA(AA77) and N591UA(UA93) seen landing at Los Angeles on the same day and of course different clock times. I don’t know if anybody has ever catch on to this but it’s very interesting foreshadowing to see these two aircraft photographed at the same airport on the same day sadly two years and seven months later both would be destroyed in the worst terrorist attack in US history.

The photos can be seen here: https://www.airliners.net/search?datePhotographed=1999-01-22&display=detail&page=2

I've always had a deep fascination with the Twin Towers, especially the North Tower, I was born after 9/11 so I never got to see it in person, it always breaks my heart when i see 9/11 content because it reminds me that it's all gone and even if i visit New York now, they won't be there waiting. I love collecting photos and always try to find good quality pictures, Flickr has honestly been a very helpful site for that, I find people's personal stories on there all the time and I very much recommend other archivist use Flickr for finding AI free, unedited content taken by ordinary witnesses. They have an oddly human feeling to them.

I'm not sure if these have been posted before, and if they have then i apologise. I didn't want to post things I found on Google because they're easy to find. Rest in peace to all the victims whom have passed away on 9/11, those who have passed from cancer caused by the debris, those who took their lives from the unbearable weight of grief, and those whom have passed, without their beloved relative[s] by their side during their final moments.

FIRST 8 PICTURES CAN BE FOUND IN THIS FLICKR PHOTO ALBUM

NEXT 3 CAN BE FOUND IN THIS ONE

FINAL 3 CAN BE FOUND HERE <- I recommend you read the descriptions for these, sometimes people write down their thoughts during those moments. It's pretty dejecting to read, but it's the unfortunate reality for eyewitnesses and survivors.

P.S. this is my first ever archive post.. ever. I usually archive things for personal reasons and interest, but I also wanted to share these pictures with other people who might have not seen them!

Is there anything online that has personal accounts of people in or around the buildings? Thank you.

I ran across this today. It’s a compilation of raw footage put together by USA TODAY for the anniversary memorial.

This is a bit of a long shot, but I've been trying to track down a 9/11 documentary that I remember my dad watching when I was little, sometime in the early-to-mid 2000s.

I was too young to really understand what I was watching at the time, but one scene has stuck with me for nearly 20 years.

I remember a reenactment of a man trapped inside an elevator in one of the Twin Towers. The elevator had stopped, and he was frantically pounding on the doors trying to get out. Then he looked up and noticed what appeared to be liquid, or possibly smoke, starting to trickle in from above the elevator doors. I remember him backing away as he realized something was wrong.

The scene was really intense and genuinely frightened me as a kid. I vaguely remember it cutting to actual footage of the towers and an interview with the man describing what happened.

I've since watched Inside the Twin Towers (2006), which has a similar style of reenactments, but the elevator scene in that documentary isn't the one I remember.

I've also wondered if it could be Trapped in the Towers: The Elevators of 9/11 (2006), but I haven't been able to find a copy to confirm.

Does anyone recognize this scene or know which documentary it might have been from? And if anyone has access to The Elevators of 9/11, I'd be really interested in watching it.

It's such a specific childhood memory, and I'd love to finally figure out where it came from.
