->> These just got released after a FOI request by media.
Taken from, I think, a NYPD chopper at the time of the collapse, they are very dramatic.

->> Well, I'll be damned! That link was not up for long - maybe minutes. I guess that will only feed the conspiracy theorists...
These pix were in a slideshow of about 15 images that had a NYPD watermark on them. They were very obviously taken from a helicopter hovering low over the WTC site and captured the burning buildings followed by the collapse and progression of the debris cloud as it expanded thru the area and out onto the water.
They were some of the most dramatic images I have seen yet of the actual collapse. The extended caption mentioned something about getting the pix via a media FOI request. Hopefully they will surface again sometime. |

| ->> Its amazing how seeing something, that we have all seen hundreds of times, from a different angle or view can reinstate some of the feelings and emotions from that day all over again. |

->> I shoot alot of aerials. In that effort, I shoot and see alot of humdrum aerial images - or at least ones that are not all that engaging. These are particulary dramatic - mainly due to the subject matter and unique angle that we have not been super-saturated with before. I would imagine that video from this perspective would be really powerful.
I think these would be even more impressive if we could see them in a presentation like the Boston Globe's "Big Picture" where the image is much larger. I wonder why these are only being released now close to ten years after the event? |
