ABC News Releases New 9/11 Photographs

Looks to be mostly aerial views - slideshow at the ABC site.

They have quite a few new images via an FOIA request.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Newly released aerial photos of the Sept. 11, 2001, World Trade Center attack show the towers coming down from a dramatic new angle.

The photos were obtained by ABC News, which filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the National Institute of Standards and Technology last year. The NIST collected the images as part of its investigation into the terrorist attack.

ABC said it was provided 2,779 pictures on nine CDs. Many of the photos, taken from police helicopters, have never been released before.

Twelve of the photos appear on ABC's Web site. One photo shows a close-up of the upper floors of the burning towers. Others show the towers' dramatic collapse in a thick plume of smoke and debris and sweeping views of billowing smoke clouds.

The debris cloud reminds me of a volcanic pyroclastic flow. For comparison:

I was in the South Tower that day. I am alive because the idiots who hijacked the first plane banked right and hit the North Tower first instead of mine.

Yeah, I'm still bitter. We should have obliterated the Petronas Towers in retaliation.
