New scenes from 9/11

Shocking images from a video made by the New York Police Department reveal new scenes of the September 11 terrorist attack that brought down the Twin Towers.

Previously unseen footage of the attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC) on September 11, 2001, was released yesterday by the American government. The footage, totaling approximately 17 uninterrupted minutes, was taken from a New York police helicopter attempting to approach the second tower hit in hopes of carrying out a rescue operation. Smoke and the risk of collapse prevented any rescue attempt by the aircraft.

“The whole tower is gone! They brought down the damn tower!” shouts one of the policemen in the helicopter as he approaches the first building attacked by Al-Qaeda, which had just collapsed. The airspace was closed to press helicopters.
