A tsunami of smoke, dust and debris roars down the streets of New York City as the World Trade Centre towers collapse. These dramatic images were taken by police photographers in helicopters and it is the first time they have been seen, having been released under a Freedom of Information request made by America's ABC News. Burning buildings can be seen crumpling in on themselves as plumes of smoke rise up over the New York skyline that terrible September morning. The images show how the police helicopter first began taking images from afar before moving in to reveal the devastation taking place underneath. They also reveal the horror faced by those trapped in the burning buildings and then the walls of smoke and debris that enveloped the surrounding area as the towers came crashing down. Released more than eight years after the deaths of 2,752 people on that day, they are powerful reminders of the attack that led to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The legacy of the New York attack continues today with as British forces joining with Afghan soldiers and Nato to launch the biggest attack on the Taliban - accused of harbouring Al Qaeda who organised the 9/11 attack - since the initial 2001 offensive. Meanwhile, in New York, work is continuing to build on the rubble of what became known as Ground Zero. Structural steel for the 1,776ft tower, which will be known as 1 World Trade Centre, has already reached 200ft above street level. Workers are now installing 16 steel nodes on the 20th-floor of the tower which will serve as joints between the steel framing for the building's podium and the steel for the rest of the tower. The 104-storey skyscraper is due to be completed in 2013 and will be one of the tallest buildings in the U.S. Article side note: So why are we seeing them now? After 9/11 the U.S.'s National Institute of Standards and Technology collected images from amateur, professional and freelance photographer as part of its investigation into the collapse of the World Trade Centre. It completed its research in 2005. In the summer of last year, ABC saw that NIST was asking the photographers' permission to release the images and filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act to get access to them. The images seen here are ones taken by NYPD helicopters and come from the 2,779 pictures supplied on nine CDs to the news organisation.
Poster Comment: Amazing photos taken by Detective Greg Semendinger, NYC Police Aviation Unit. The timing of the photos release unfortunately [or rather fortuitously?] coincides with the neozioconlibs' promotion of a war with Iran.

That's a muslim wedding celebration right after teh sheik n awwwww ....
Whatever...so, do you think it was a Made In America inside job or do you think 9/11 was done by OBL and his cave dwellers? Postscript: are LEO allowed to lie?
I have my own suspects and suspicions, but donkey riding Arabs are not amongst them. There are few choices as sources of nanothermite. The truth will out.
Very interesting. You surprise me, LS. What are the "few choices of nanothermite?"
Thank you for that interview, LS! It's the first time I've heard of Dr. Niels Harrit and his findings. I'm not sure if you realize this but, Dr. Harrit's findings are being clouded over by the fact that the journal which published his article is under attack. As a result I suspect Dr. Harrit's research will not get much traction stateside with mainstream media or interest by US academics to pursue further.

Agreed, politics.....the art of f*ck ups f*cking over the unsuspecting and getting thanked for doing it .....until it is too obvious to ignore, then the f*ckups get f*cked ;-) Dangerous bidness indeed. The truth will out, it took the Catholics 500 years to be outed regarding the "Crusades", patience ..... it is a virtue ;-) The Romans knew the best seat in the Colliseum was in the stands, the observer is the superior man, get some popcorn it is going to be interesting 'theater' brah.
