These are a series of Pictures sent to me by a friend. They were apparently taken by someone who was fleeing the scene, camera in hand.
This is the rest of the series of photos taken after a plane struck the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
Two shafts of light extend ever upward towards the heavens, a fitting tribute. April 2, 2002.
This is a banner I created for the web site of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Community Policing Institute at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. It contains the state seals for Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. All of these police forces experienced a great deal of stress after 9/11. As of this submission, this banner is still on the top of each page of the site at www.marcpi.jhu.edu.
I have a quite a few Newspapers from Sept 12th from across the US. I also have .jpg files of papers from across the US and around the world. I'd have to say this is my favorite. Its of the San Francisco Examiner Special Edition Sept 12th.

Myself, one other teacher and three students went to a WW II conference on Nov. 8, 2001 in Washington. After that we stopped by the Pentagon. The previou spicture I sent is of the other teacher and students. This one just shows the damage.
Thanksgiving, the clean up continues. Police and Firefighters perform a most hellish chore of dismantling the wreckage and sorting the remains. The public watches in amazement with deep gratitude
My ticket to the sky. March,1997. 10.37 AM
This was taken in May of 1981, from a ferry boat in NY Harbor.
This picture was taken in Munchen, Germany on Sept 16, 2001. It was one of the memorials built for the attacks on the US. People continued to place flowers around the large cross of red roses and white daisies. There were several demonstrations to rally support and show condolences in Munchen. This was taken at their famous square with the giant coocoo clock.
Detail from the permanent temporary memorial, Shanksville, PA, April 25, 2002.
This picture shows the southtower and the Marriot hotel (WTC3)before and after the attacks. It dramatically reflects the damage done on 11 september 2001. This was the cover for my graduating thesis for my bachelor degree which was about the economical impact of 11 september 2001. If you would like to use this picture for any reason at all, or have any comments, feel free to contact me. Ivan
I took this photo in 1987 while in high school. This is a shot looking down from the roof of the WTC.

My name is Wes Meadows, my fiance and I were in NYC the weekend before September 11. We decided to extend our stay and were planning on leaving the morning of the 11th. My fiance met with a colleague for breakfast that morning and while I was busy packing, I saw the first reports on the news. I couldn't believe what was happening and when the second plane struck, all my thoughts turned to finding my fiance and ensuring she was ok. Cell phones were not working and I became frantic wondering if she was ok. I didn't know whether to stay in the hotel or leave to try and find her. Finally, she arrived shortly after the first tower fell and my fears for her safety were calmed. We decided we needed to head to the towers to offer any help we could. I am a former Army Captain and felt it was somehow my duty. We got to Canal and Broadway just after the second tower collapsed. As we were standing there just looking (police were not letting anyone go south), I looked at a billboard across the street. I decided to take a picture of it, the eeriness of it made us both cry. The picture is of a movie advertisement for the Schwatzeneggar movie "Collateral Damage" with the smoke from the towers billowing behind. I thought it would be an appropriate picture to contribute to this archive. Although we did not directly lose anyone our lives were deeply touched, I am from Boston (where the planes took off from), we were in New York, and we live outside Washington D.C. it seemed all the places that are close to us were directly involved in the tragedy. I hope this helps in your image base. Thank you for this opportunity.
A Marine color guard folds a large American flag at the American occupied Kandahar International Airport December 17, 2001. The flag, which came from the Ground Zero, had previously flown on U.S. ships in the North Arabian Sea during Operation Enduring Freedom. The flag was brought to Afghanistan after the airport was secured by the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) Dec. 13.
