In Remembrance
The Official Opening of the World Trade Center was in 1973. It was destroyed in on September 11, 2001.
Total number killed in attacks: 2,819
Number of firefighters and paramedics killed: 343
Number of NYPD officers: 23
Number of Port Authority police officers: 37
Number of nations whose citizens were killed in attacks: 115
Number of people who lost a spouse or partner in the attacks: 1,609
Estimated number of children who lost a parent: 3,051
Tons of debris removed from site: 1,506,124
Days fires continued to burn after the attack: 99
Estimated number of New Yorkers suffering from post-traumatic-stress disorder as a result of 9/11: 422,000
Distance, in miles, from which the burning towers were visible: 20
It was a 102-minutes between the moment Flight 11 hit the first Twin Tower on the morning of September 11, 2001, and the moment the second tower collapsed.
Bloodplanes break the silence of clouds–strangely
Lonesome–as we, the living, pierce ourselves with the
Hooks of memory, digging without rest, digging night
& day, throwing ourselves into the holes of grief in
Search of ourselves changed forever–looking up,
Seeing nothing, in disbelief looking up again.

I see tragic and sadness in Steve McCurry’s pictures around 9/11. Maybe we should continue this selection about grief and sorrow with images from Iraq and Afghanistan to understand the vicious circle mankind has trapped in.

That Day was a terrible example of Man’s inhumanity to Man. Yet, in spite of the terrible events, there were so many examples of profound humanity, sacrifice and bravery. These images provoke so many emotions. Thank you.

I couldn’t have said it better than anyone else here. On 9-11, we grieved with friends and strangers. Ten years later, I’ll do so again.
I will never forget.

Yeah. I feel very sad…
September 8, 2011 at 17:18
Good work Steve !!! Great pictures, but so very sad. Was it a coincidence that you we’re at the right place at the right time?
September 8, 2011 at 17:01
Unes grans fotografies…..

Great photos Steve, my compliments. You captured these moments in a so particular and involving way….these photos witness what happened THAT day….your photos speak more than words. I’ m near to all American. Big hug. Cristina (from Italy)

So much better than any news channel; simple facts and beautiful-yet-horrible images. Thank you, Steve.
September 8, 2011 at 08:16
very dangeres
September 8, 2011 at 08:06
Steve, thank you for posting these powerful images. I am not an American but my heart is with the American people now. It is the most horrifying experience when a tragedy of this scale happens in your town, where you least expect it. Then the distant issues of hatred, religious bigotry and terrorism become a first-hand reality, opening your eyes and your heart to the suffering and injustice that prevail our troubled times.

May we remember that each and every human being wants peace in their lives. We must access our own peace to manifest it outside of ourselves. Let’s begin today.

so very sad…

The image of the sidelit escalator with solitary figure is serene yet haunting.
September 8, 2011 at 04:36
It does not matter after how many years i am checking these pics… the pain is still the same. Tragic and Sad … we see or hear blasts almost every day, but never expected it to impact these huge number of public.

Historic photographs. May peace prevail on Earth and every where.
