9/11: 25 Indelible Pictures
Terror on the Ground
Still from video by Evan Fairbanks, Magnum Photos
At 9:03 a.m. ET United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the World Trade Center's south tower, as seen in a still from a video taken from the ground on 9/11.
By hijacking four planes as part of the 9/11 attacks, terrorists took the lives of nearly 3,000 people in New York City, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. (See a time line of the events of 9/11.)
On the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, National Geographic photo editors have chosen 25 iconic images that tell the stories of one of the country's darkest days.
"After ten years, I think many of the images from 9/11 still convey the rawness and brutality of the attack. It seems to me that they still have the capacity to shock," said Clifford Chanin, an executive at New York City's National 9/11 Memorial and Museum and editor of Memory Remains, a photographic book of 9/11 artifacts.

Moment of Impact
Photograph by Spencer Platt, Getty Images
Smoke and flames billow as United Airlines Flight 175 crashes into the World Trade Center's south tower on 9/11, killing everyone aboard and hundreds more inside the building.
In New York, the crashes of two airliners hijacked by al Qaeda terrorists and the subsequent collapse of the twin towers killed some 2,800 people.

Fleeing the Fire
Photograph by Jose Jimenez, Primera Hora/Getty Images
Driven to the brink by fires and scorching temperatures during the 9/11 attacks, people near the top of the World Trade Center's north tower hang from windows as high as 1,300 feet (400 meters) above the streets of New York City.
Such images were extremely controversial ten years ago but have since become more accepted-if no less disturbing, Chanin said.
"I think one of the things that's happened is that we recognize one way to represent the depravity at the core of the motivation for the attacks is by showing the people who were caught above the impact and the choices that they were confronted with at the ends of their lives. I think that's become an essential part of the story."

9/11 Firefighter

While most able-bodied occupants of the north tower fled down stairwells to safety, firefighters such as Mike Kehoe (pictured) headed up to help the wounded.
Kehoe's Ladder 11 firehouse lost six men that day, but he survived to face a life forever changed not only by 9/11 but by the iconic image in which he unwittingly appeared.
"In some ways Mike Kehoe came to symbolize the firefighters," Chanin said.

Before the Collapse
Photograph by Spencer Platt, Getty Images
People evacuate New York City's Financial District on 9/11 as both World Trade Center towers burn.
Within minutes, these scenes of orderly retreat would be replaced with images of widespread destruction and chaos, as the twin towers collapsed and choked city streets with dust and debris.

"Falling Man"
Photograph by Richard Drew, AP
This famous photograph, known as "Falling Man," captures the plunge of an unknown victim of 9/11 from the north tower—one of many who jumped or fell to their deaths from the upper floors of the World Trade Center.
The decision to publish or censor such images was polarizing in 2001.
"In the museum we are going to be showing images of people falling from the buildings, but they are going to be in a special alcove where people will have some type of advance notice of the content," said Chanin, of the national 9/11 memorial.
"We recognize that these images are not for everybody. But we also recognize that the conditions in extremis that these people found themselves in are a critical part of the story. And we can show that without identifying who those people are."

Frozen Moment
Photograph by Thomas Nilsson, Getty Images
The World Trade Center's south tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. ET on 9/11, bringing the disaster that had been unfolding far above the street crashing down to engulf those below.
"I see a lot of images like these, and there is something about that frozen moment that captures the essence of what happened," Chanin said.
"While video incorporates the shock and the response and the aftermath, these particular photos get just that very moment. There is nothing really like them."

Running for Their Lives
Photograph by Suzanne Plunkett, AP
People run through the New York streets as the World Trade Center collapses behind them, blotting out blue skies and filling the air with enormous clouds of debris and ash.
The international nature of New York City meant that 9/11 had a truly global reach—citizens of some 115 nations were killed that morning.

Pentagon Fire

Firefighters battle a spreading blaze at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, on 9/11.
Five minutes after the building was hit, the Federal Aviation Authority grounded all flights over or headed toward the continental United States. Less than ten minutes after the impact, evacuations began at the White House and the U.S. Capitol.

Escaping New York

New York City's workday world was turned on its head by the catastrophic events of 9/11.
This inbound view of the Brooklyn Bridge shows a route taken by many commuters earlier that morning turned into the site of a mass exodus as people walk out of a smoky and chaotic Manhattan.

A wounded man outside the Pentagon's west entrance receives medical help from emergency workers on 9/11. A priest says prayers over him.
In addition to the Pentagon's 125 casualties, some 106 people were seriously injured by fires following the direct hit on the building, the epicenter of U.S. military strength.

Enveloped in Ash
Photograph by Stan Honda, AFP/Getty Images
Marcy Borders is enveloped in ash after she escaped the World Trade Center's south tower to take shelter in the lobby of a nearby office building.
The south tower burned for nearly an hour before it collapsed, claiming the lives of some 600 people inside the building and in the surrounding area.
The north tower burned for over an hour and a half before meeting a similar fate—-and killing another 1,400 people.

Street in Ruins
Photograph by Jason Florio, Corbis
A lone person stands on a New York City street, seen after the twin towers' collapse on 9/11.
"Even after ten years, as I look at these photos they still seem really raw, and that quality of unreality that people expressed in the days just after the attack comes back to me as well," Chanin said.
"Sometimes, even after ten years, it's still hard to believe that this actually happened."
