of looking into the past (9/11)

Looking Into the Past 9/11: jasonepowell posts some photos of WTC and Pentagon taken during Sept 11.

Looking Into the Past: Pentagon From a Distance, September 11, 2001:

The Pentagon got hit after the World Trade Center, and drove the national fear to the next level. Sitting at home, I wondered how many more thousands of people would die this terrible day. This photo was taken on the grounds of the Pentagon Memorial, which you should visit if you haven't. It's one of the most visually striking memorials in the DC area.

Looking Into the Past: Crowd Watching the World Trade Center Burn from the Brooklyn Promenade, September 11, 2001:

At this point on that day, both planes had hit in New York, and the Pentagon was just about to be hit (or had just been hit - I can't tell the specific time from this photo). It was clear America was under attack by terrorists. This crowd is a lot calmer than I would have been, I think.
