Yesterday newly released images from the 9/11 attacks sprung up on major news sites and completely wow’ed me. Despite the tragedy these images qualify as stunning art pieces. No movie director can invent surreal cloud formations like these. Splendid splendid nature.
The images were taken from a police helicopter — the only photographers allowed in the air space near the towers on Sept. 11, 2001. They were obtained by ABC News after it filed a Freedom of Information Act request last year with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which investigated the collapse.
