This picture was taken in New York on the morning of the attacks on the World Trade Center. It shows three average looking men, walking through the ash and dust with some sort of purpose about them.

September 11th 2001 Through My Eyes On September 11th, 2001 New York City witnessed one of the worst terrorist attacks in history, if not the worst. Ten Al Qaeda members hijacked two airplanes in mid-air and each was flown into one of the World Trade Center buildings eventually causing the 110-story buildings to crumble down killing 2606 people.
