Who is taking photos of the Twin Towers down, and from where?

I doubt any social medium is taking down pictures of the attack on Sept 11. Pictures and stories are on the news, internet, literally everywhere.
We live today in difficult times, when forces will look to start controversy for no other purpose than to divide the country.
Living in NYC and seeing what hate is truly capable of I try very hard not to be political on this day.
Ive read all the stories (fake) about how it was a inside job and the rest of the rubbish posted every year since the attack and by now its not even worth addressing.
The OP im sure had honorable intentions but unless he can directly link to what he asserts, I will pass on this too as just more bullshit by some element ( not him) looking to divide us.
I lost no relatives on that day but I know many who lost their lives and more that to this very day continue to die and suffer as a result of exposure at ground zero.
My friend who worked ground zero all the years afterwards is currently battling a aggressive cancer directly linked to the aftermath of 9/11.... Stories repeated every year since the attack of first responders, others who worked there every day and now suffer with serious illness's
When you see things up close like this it tends to change you and it changed me.
There is a waterfront area of SI almost across from lower Manhattan. For a long time after the attacks, people would park there and look over towards were the towers stood. The smoke plum lasted for weeks and you could see were the spot lights were shining on the area. I went down there a few times and stood in silence with other strangers, but those nights we were not strangers, we were Americans and fellow New Yorkers.

My first and only trip to NYC was in the summer of 2003. I visited ground zero, at that time it was a big pit. The buildings surrounding the site were all still damaged and some being dismantled. It was quite a sight.

GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND NO PLACE ELSE !!!

A lot going on at that time...
I hold the belief that there are certain places all Americans should visit at least once. The site of the twin towers is one.
The Freedom tower is great to visit and the observation floor is well worth visiting. The reflection ponds which are the original footprint of the towers with the names of those who perished as well as taking the guided tour is something id recommend.
Of course the museum dedicated to 9/11 is a must see.

I remember turning on the tv and being dumbstruck at first. I thought it looked like a scene from a disaster movie even though I knew it wasn’t. I went from dumbstruck to angry. It was that brooding kind of angry that gets more intense because there’s nothing you can do kind of angry. Whenever the subject comes up, the anger flashes even now, and it doesn’t have to be September 11th. I watch the documentaries on the History Channel every year (I’m watching now). I’m glad they show them. They should. I listen to the voices of the Firefighters in the stairways and I water up. I haven’t visited the site yet but I know I’ll break down. I visited the memorial at Oklahoma City and I came away bawling my eyes out. And the anger was there too.

I was only in 2nd grade when it happened,

I was 10 years old when President Kennedy was assassinated, fully aware of it at that time growing up in the other commie crazy era. Many may not remember or were alive when 'McCarthyism' or "the McCarthy era" was going on, my oh my have we gone full circle (again).

Believe me the Kennedy Assassination was a much bigger deal than 9/11.

Osama Bin Laden was Islamic
Qur'an is word of God for Muslims
4 Quotes from Qur'an, Abdel Haleem version
Chapter and verse
Surah 8:15-17 "Believers, When you meet the disbelievers in battle, never turn your backs on them. If anyone does so on such a day – unless maneuvering to fight or to join a fighting group – he incurs the wrath of God, and hell will be his home, a wretched destination! It was not you who killed them but God." There were disbelievers, non-Muslims, in the World Trade Center. By Islamic doctrine, God killed them. Osama bin Laden's terrorists were just God's agents.
Surah 2:191 "Kill them wherever you encounter them, and drive them out from where they drove you out, for persecution is more serious than killing. Do not fight them at the sacred Mosque unless they fight you there. If they do fight you, kill them – this is what such disbelievers deserve." Disbelievers deserve to be killed.
Surah 9:111 "God has purchased the persons and possessions of the believers in return for the Garden – they fight in God's way: they killed and are killed – this is the true promise given by him in the Torah, the gospel, and the Qur'an." Those terrorists thought they were dying for God, for good reason. They were being killed in God's way.
Surah 33:15 Yet they had already promised God that they would not turn tail and flee, and a promise to God will be answered for. Say, "Running away will not benefit you. If you manage to escape death or slaughter, you will only be permitted to enjoy life for a short while." That's the threat for any Islamic who doesn't fight.
These passages barely scratch the surface of the violence in the Qur'an and what it can be used to justify against non-Muslims.
RELIGION OF PEACE. That congresswoman from Nigeria/Minnesota is a LIAR! May the souls of those Islam murdered on 9/11 rest in peace. And may peace be on their families this day. The blood of those killed is on the hands of all Islamics/Muslims for promoting the Qur'an as the word of God.

Couple more pics from the roof of my building.. pic don’t do it any justice. It’s stunning up here. The Tower tribute beams shine 4 miles up they say.

Why did you read a thread on 9/11 if you didn't want to hear comments on 9/11? Unlike most Islamic countries, we have free speech. It's part of American life. BTW, there's a lot more violence in the Qur'an than just those 4 quotes. Antiquated organized religion can be very violent and take innocent lives. Asks the Yazidis.

after reading your first post here, i tried to imagine Jesus advocating murder. nope, just not happening.

Of all the asinine comments to make...on the anniversary of 9/11...in spite of the fact your parents probably said the same thing about Pearl Harbor compared to the Kennedy assassination AND I'm SURE you fully understood the impact and effects of McCarthyism at the ripe old age of 10. Honest to Christ man, choose your spots wisely. Not the time or the place to have a historical johnson-measuring competition.

9/11 remains to this day the most horrific date in my life. It doesn't matter how and I won't bother to explain. It just was.

What is probably the most heart breaking outcome after all these years is how the country, as a whole, has forgotten 9/11 and anybody under 25 doesn't give a ****.

The biggest hurt inside me is seeing this country continuating to forget "Never Forget". The rage inside me about this is beyond description.

Is the above "Never Forget?". As a whole this country sucks.

As a whole the majority of us agree that we will never forget, it's the few in the Democrat party and their biased supporting media who want to bury the memories.
I will never forget to honor those who gave their lives and hearts to help their fellow Americans.
The Media Sucks, The Democrats Suck, Don't watch them and Don't Vote for them !

If that's what it says in their book, then it would seem to me like a good idea for all of us to be aware of it.

People taking scripture literally happens in every religion. When that scripture (God's supposed word) advocates violence, some practitioners are going to take that literally. As we saw on 9/11, the consequences are disastrous. The rest of a book is irrelevant, if part of that book gets innocent people killed. Better to discard the book and the religion, form your own relationship with God, and save lives. Religious books are replaceable with better books. Human lives are irreplaceable and invaluable. We can't sacrifice lives to keep books.

I read the comment as well. I have gotten in more than a few political arguments and made enemies here, but im trying not to do that here. I want to believe the guy who posted that comment didnt mean it exactly that way.
These events like when Kennedy was killed, the attack on Pearl Harbor and 9/11 were all done by forces trying to destroy our country.
They weren't democrats or republicans, liberals or conservatives, they were scumbags who hate America and they would to this day kill you or me or any other citizen of this country.
Thats what we need to keep in mind.
I understand why you replied to that post and yes I agree with you but im trying not to turn this into something id rather not it become...Be well and enjoy your Sunday

Scott, if you truly want to honor those who gave up their lives that day, and the brave first responders who went into those burning buildings to try and rescue people than you should rethink your comments.
They are wrong and out of line.
There is no media, especially no American I associate with, identify with, are friends with that would ever want to bury as you say what happened on that terrible day, Republican or Democrat and if they did id curse them.
Your certainly entitled to say Democrats suck, dont vote for them, whatever floats your boat but understand that I will never put up with anybody making the assumption that a political party wants to look aside of what happened that day.
I look at the comments here about Muslims, yes its hard not to dislike them at times, we let these terrorist scum into this country with open arms. We let to many people into this country who have zero loyalty to the nation and yes its the liberal agenda that promotes it.
Every president regardless of political party has tried to protect this nation from attack, if you understand how the security of this nation works you'd realize that.
My father who saw more than his share told me in the weeks after the attack that we let our guard down and thats exactly what we did. I can only hope we learn from that lesson.
Democrats suck you say? Yes some do, a party once of the working man, trying to improve the lives of everyday Americans, now taken over in part by radical left wing idiots.
But its the people that still dedicate their lives to this nation that protect us and make us the greatest. power we are.
One of them is retired Admiral, navy seal William Mc Craven. Look him up and see what he was responsible for doing. Heres a guy who dedicated his life to this country, he is the very definition of the kind of man who keeps you safe. He and the seals who killed Bin Laden are the heroes. Obama ordered the attack and had McCraven put together the plan. If it failed Obama would have been the one who carried the blame. Did you see Obama carry on like a ******* and tell everyone how great he was, what a great leader he was for ordering the attack? No you didnt.
We this great nation we are hunted down the guy who was the leader of this cowardly attack and we killed him. And what makes us great is we didnt desecrate his body like they did to our soldiers, even after what was done to us we burried him as his customs and religion said.
This is America our values what we stand for
The point is its not about Obama its about this country and what makes us the greatest country on the face of the earth which I know we all agree on.
So sorry for the ranting but lets try to unite and not point fingers at least on this

Have a good Sunday

If you meant this...

So sorry for the ranting but lets try to unite and not point fingers at least on this

You wouldn't have put this...

Did you see Obama carry on like a ******* and tell everyone how great he was, what a great leader he was for ordering the attack? No you didnt.

On this occasion, I'm in no mood for an argument, so I'll let it go...
