The Twin Towers, as they were.
All of these photos were taken in 2000 or earlier.
It’s hard to believe it’s already been 13 years…

This week’s Photo Challenge is Change.
A place of great change, sudden and gradual, catastrophic and constructive, individual and collective, visible all around—
—the 9/11 Memorial in Manhattan.

It was the posters that finally made it real.
Everyone has a 9/11 story. Mine isn’t all that exceptional. I was in Midtown Manhattan that morning, preparing for a sales trip to New Jersey. I’d been awake since about 2 AM, working on a project for work.
When the sirens first started, I didn’t think much of it. At least at first. But they kept going… and going… and going. Finally I looked out of the window and saw the column of smoke rising into the clear pale-blue air—and realized something serious was going on.
Then I turned on the TV and saw what everyone else did: the smoke, the helicopters, the collapse of the towers one by one.

“The … most prominent landmarks, which can be seen for a long distance at sea, are the twin towers of the World Trade Center …”
