this is the north side of the North Tower and this is where the entry where the first plane hit they are images already seared into the memories of Americans but the pictures taken by retired NYPD helicopter pilot Gregory Seeger show 911 from a perspective that few people have ever seen I happened to have a camera and uh in between the surveys of the roofs and trying to see if people made it to the roof I just kept snapping pictures the photos have finally been released more than 8 years after the attack seon Dinger was in
the air and on the scene just minutes after the first plane hit and was there when the second plane slammed into the South Tower I did see the Fireball and I saw the papers that were blown out from the windows and the offices were just unbelievable it it looked like a confetti parade the photos show the massive scope of the 911 attacks while showing the personal impact as well where all the smoke is coming from here these are people that had broken the windows on uh on their offices and were trying to get air none
of us except for these Aviation um helicopter Pilots were looking literally with a bird's eye view of the devastation that was happening below Jan Ramirez is the curator of the planned 911 museum that will be part of a permanent Memorial at Ground Zero she says pictures like this take on a different meaning as the years pass they were shocking um in 200 1 and 2002 but they're deeply emotional now because we're still living with the consequences of this the museum wants to secure a complete collection of the photographs images that smon Dinger has waited years
to share it's good to see that uh they've come out even though it's taken this long you know the world should see the photos Brian Thomas the Associated Press
