Moments in history like these, now have a material place in history with exacting detail thanks to technological feat. May the cosmos bless those lost that day, heal those whom aided recovery, and may their memory never fade. And, may moments like these become exceedingly rare as we humans continue to evolve.

To those who haven't visited, the 9/11 memorial in NYC is very powerful and well done. I don't think there's a dry eye around by the time you get to the end.

Incredible photos, especially the one of a kind person covering the remains of body parts.
From the days when having a camera on you was a rare event.

I was on Reddit (er, Slashdot? er, Digg? Something?) on 9/11 and the days that followed. I downloaded a ton of images and videos. I have a CD someplace.
I'm sure there are other people who did, too.
It feels like a shame that these aren't collected...?

This is intense. I was in high school in downtown manhattan at the time. Seeing these photos is surreal, it brings me right back to that day over 20 years ago. I think aside from that, the curation of the photos captured the feeling of that day and those after quite well.

Worked at BMG/RCA Records (now the Adobe building) in Times Square on this day. I witnessed from our 41st office building floor the North Tower collapse.

I’ll never forget the plywood sign bolted over the Burger King, with letters that were obviously spray painted in a rush “Temp Police HQ”.

Emotional looking at those pics and descriptions. Damn.

It'll never cease to amaze me that people look at photographs like this and think "Uhhmm ackshually, the planes had nothing to do with this, it was <insert nth truther variation here>"
Here's an annotated high-res one that made the rounds on reddit a few days ago: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fh...
