2001: Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks
Reuters photographer Anthony Correia began his routine subway commute to
work in lower Manhattan on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001. His train was underground
when airplanes struck the Twin Towers and after 45 minutes, rerouted to 14th
Street. From there he emerged into the altered landscape of a city in the
throes of horror and trauma. His photograph of an unidentified New York City
firefighter walking away from Ground Zero after the collapse of the World Trade
Center’s Twin Towers captures the pervasive sense of shock, devastation, and
uncertainty.
