Description
9 - 11 - 04My tribute to 9-11-01. We must always remember the courage and pride of everybody who was involved in the rescue efforts and the thousands who died. This is for all those affected directly and indirectly by the attacks.
Lest we forget.
Update:
Despite what many people might think about this photograph, it is not staged. Their positions are entirely spontaneous.
Thanks to for selecting the image and for recommending it.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to leave their thoughts.

it shocked me, people posing for a photo, smilling.
this is a very well done tribute.

I remember my visit to Ground Zero, and that unspeakable feeling on me, the two women in the picture, and everyone else is all the same.

myself, i feel that we as a country, have lost some focus on what happened on that tragic day. as a kid growing up in the Bronx, i watched the towers go up from my fathers apartment. 10 years later i stood atop them, and 11 years later i watched in horror, as they came down. we should NEVER forget...

It's definitely an event that cannot and will not be forgotten.
Cheers.

Brilliant picture. These two were at the right place at the right time, even though thousands were in the right place at the wrong time....
I know I will not forget. I had never before and have not seen since an entire campus of nearly 40,000 students look so normal and yet be so quiet.

I won't forget either.
Cheers.

it is true, the turmoil in New York is not something to be forgotten, sadly our government seems to not keep the same thing in mind and switched their view from Osama Bin Laden to Iraq, why? The "weapons of mass destruction" that never surfaced

It's a lot more complicated than that. I tend not too agree with your government and I won't say anything more about it.
Thanks

I was flipping through news channels thinking it was some kind of movie. It was night time in Jakarta then.

Ah. I was in school. it was my second class...about 9 or 10 in Minnesota.

we watched the news in every single class but two...one didn't have a tv and the other...the teacher was a bitch and wouldn't let us watch. it happened to our country, and she didn't let us watch. no wonder i hated her so much...

I turned 11 that day.

Oh. What a way to celebrate your birthday. But its worse for those who died innet?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yea.
It was sort of okay for me, because I live in Australia so when it happened it was really the day after my birthday. It was still a bit of a shock though. And now whenever I tell people when my birthday is they say "Really?!"
But just because it turned out okay for me doesn't mean that it was for everyone, it would be selfish of me to think that.

Yeah... One of my friends grandparents were supposed to be in the towers that day, at that time. IN them. She was so worried. Thankfully they weren't there, but if they were...

I bet they feel really lucky that they werenβt.
In those situations there are so many people who end up not being in the particular place where it happened for such small reasons. Like their car wasn't working or their taxi was late or their babysitter didn't come. It's so amazing that things that can seem like burdens can save your life.

I know. We were driving this summer, a few weeks ago actually, on this highway, and only 10 minutes or less after we went through an area there was a tornado.

Thats so lucky.
When you heard you must have been like "Oh My God!"

Great shot. It says a lot about tragedy, loss and remembering.
I look forward to the day when Palestinian and Iraqi photographers begin posting images that relate to the shit that they have to endure every day.

Thanks for the link.
As soon as I saw the name James Hachtway I knew the images.
I also began reading Chomsky and Pilger some time ago
It was interesting and a total revelation.
Best wishes

I love how the girl's hands are on the fence...

my daughter was actually born on 9/11/01.....
right at 9am on the button when it happened, and her father is from New York....

That day is definitely unforgettable. And you're fortunate to have a good reason not to forget it.
Thank you

It's a great picture How could we forget? The contrast really makes it stand out.

Meaningful capture and powerful message.
Some people just don't understand the impact of what happened and mock it, and it takes images such as these and some others to really make us remember how we ALL felt that day as Americans, regardless of race, gender, and political view.
I'll be purchasing a print. Thank you!

What people fail to notice was that it wasn't only an attack on the United States, but also on the interests of the rest of the world.
Thank you for taking a look.

what i mean by that is now everyone will be put uder the illusion that id cards will save us
this is called order out of chaos the make us panic them enslave us taking away our freedom bit by bit
it happened in oaklahoma (or however it is spelt) happened in 9/11 and happened in London
basically what i am trying to say is that the govenment and the people behind them r trying to control all of us what for the new laws by charles clarke to come through
police dont need a warrant to search your property you can be searched on the street etc all becasue some so called terrorist blew up London i say so called because they web site that says its was Al-Qaeda could have been put up by any secret service but you proberly watch the news and are brain washed but rupert murdock and his many channels of news
hope you know the news you watched is controlled fuck i am ranting now sorry to cast a black cloud over what u thought was a good world happy free and democratic

To think that four days earlier I spent more than two hours in King's Cross station, waiting for the right train. Four days later and it would have been the last train.
Indeed.
lest we forget.

It's unnerving to think of such coincidences.
Glad to hear you're safe.

This has such a classic look to it like it was from the '30's or something. Excellent piece!
