A day that shocked the world: Photos capture stunned planet after 9/11 terror attacks
View Date:2025-01-07 14:05:06
The imagery of the 9/11 Attacks remains indelible, even as Wednesday marks 23 years since a cloudless morning in New York became a nightmare that shook this country to the core and altered the fate of millions around the world.
The horror of crowds realizing that a plane flew into the World Trade Center, lower Manhattan covered in ash like putrid snow, The Falling Man, destruction at the site of the core of a country's military might and a plane crash that at once symbolized the heroism of a group of average people and the possibility of the violence that could have been.
Each of these images contain a snapshot of the terror that spread across the country whether one was at the epicenter of the tragedy or on the other side of the country watching television while waiting to be taken to school.
Nearly 3,000 people died as a result of the attacks, with thousands more suffering and dying due to cancers linked to working around Ground Zero in the aftermath.
Here are some of the memorable images from that cloudless Tuesday morning.
