MULTIPLE PHOTOGRAPHS DOCUMENT TWO INDIVIDUALS, IDENTIFIED AS A MAN AND A WOMAN, CLASPING HANDS WHILE POSITIONED ON A STEEL STRUCTURAL ELEMENT AT THE 106TH FLOOR ON THE WESTERN FACADE OF WORLD TRADE CENTER 1.

BASED ON AVAILABLE EVIDENCE, IT HAS BEEN THEORIZED THAT THE MALE FIGURE MAY HAVE BEEN NEIL JAMES CUDMORE, A 39-YEAR-OLD BRITISH NATIONAL, AND THE FEMALE FIGURE MAY HAVE BEEN DINAH WEBSTER, A 50-YEAR-OLD BRITISH NATIONAL. THIS SPECULATION IS GROUNDED IN THE FACT THAT BOTH INDIVIDUALS WERE SCHEDULED TO BE MARRIED FOLLOWING THE EVENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11TH AND WERE BOTH ATTENDING A CONFERENCE LOCATED ON THAT SAME FLOOR ON THE DAY IN QUESTION. HOWEVER, IT MUST BE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IDENTIFICATION REMAINS LARGELY CONJECTURAL.

REGARDLESS OF THEIR IDENTITIES, THE IMAGERY REMAINS PROFOUNDLY TRAGIC AND EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATING.

TWENTY-THREE YEARS HAVE ELAPSED SINCE I WAS STATIONED ON THE ROOF OF THE LONG ISLAND CITY POST OFFICE, ENGAGED IN A RESTORATION PROJECT. WHAT BEGAN AS AN ORDINARY WORKDAY TRANSFORMED DRAMATICALLY WHEN MY SUPERVISOR CONTACTED ME WITH AN URGENT MESSAGE: "DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO THE TWIN TOWERS. AN AIRCRAFT HAS COLLIDED WITH ONE OF THEM."

FROM OUR VANTAGE POINT AT ELEVATION, WE POSSESSED AN UNOBSTRUCTED PERSPECTIVE OF THE CATASTROPHE DEVELOPING BEFORE US. WE OBSERVED WITH PROFOUND DISTRESS AS THE INITIAL TOWER WAS ALREADY ENGULFED IN FLAMES, WITH DENSE SMOKE ASCENDING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE SECOND AIRCRAFT STRUCK. THE COMPREHENSION THAT THIS CONSTITUTED AN INTENTIONAL ACT RATHER THAN AN ACCIDENT OVERWHELMED US WITH DEVASTATING FORCE.

THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY PROCEEDED AS A SUCCESSION OF EMERGENCY VEHICLE ALARMS, OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS, AND WIDESPREAD NATIONAL BEWILDERMENT. WE REMAINED STATIONARY, OUR WORK ABANDONED, BEARING WITNESS TO A PIVOTAL HISTORICAL MOMENT. THE TOWERS SUBSEQUENTLY COLLAPSED, AND IN THEIR DESTRUCTION, A MEASURE OF OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AND CONFIDENCE WAS LOST.

ON THAT DATE, EXISTENCE WAS FUNDAMENTALLY ALTERED FOR OUR ENTIRE POPULATION. THE FOLLOWING PHOTOGRAPHS REPRESENT IMAGES I CAPTURED, SERVING AS A MODEST DOCUMENTATION OF AN OCCURRENCE THAT SHALL REMAIN INDELIBLY ETCHED IN OUR COLLECTIVE MEMORY.

A PHOTOGRAPHIC COLLECTION ASSEMBLED BY LYLE OWERKO, PREDOMINANTLY CAPTURED ALONG CHURCH AND VESEY STREETS, DOCUMENTING THE BURNING WORLD TRADE CENTER 1 PRIOR TO UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 175'S IMPACT ON WORLD TRADE CENTER 2, INDIVIDUALS DESCENDING FROM WORLD TRADE CENTER 1'S EASTERN PERIMETER, THE COLLISION AND RESULTING EXPLOSION OF UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 175, AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE DOCUMENTATION OF ONE OF SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS WHO ENDEAVORED TO DESCEND THE EASTERN FACADE OF WORLD TRADE CENTER 2.

CERTAIN PHOTOGRAPHS INTERSPERSED AMONG IMAGES DEPICTING FALLING INDIVIDUALS APPEAR TO SHOW SEVERAL PERSONS WHO LIKELY DESCENDED FROM WORLD TRADE CENTER 2'S EASTERN FACADE AS WELL, THOUGH DEFINITIVE CONFIRMATION REMAINS CHALLENGING GIVEN THE IDENTICAL PHOTOGRAPHIC ANGLE APPLICABLE TO BOTH WORLD TRADE CENTER 1 AND WORLD TRADE CENTER 2.

ADDITIONAL PHOTOGRAPHS REMAIN AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CHRONOLOGICAL SEQUENCE TO THE EXTENT OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE, WITH A TECHNICAL LIMITATION OF TWENTY IMAGES PER SUBMISSION NECESSITATING SUBSEQUENT INSTALLMENTS AT A FUTURE TIME.

UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 175 APPROACHED IMPACT IN LESS THAN FIVE SECONDS, WITH A FIREBALL VISIBLE FROM A WINDOW LOCATED APPROXIMATELY ONE OR TWO BLOCKS AWAY.

THESE IMAGES ARE UNFAMILIAR TO ME, AND I AM CONFIDENT THE SAME APPLIES TO MOST OF YOU, AS I DO NOT BELIEVE I HAVE PREVIOUSLY ENCOUNTERED THESE PARTICULAR PHOTOGRAPHS.

THESE PHOTOGRAPHS DOCUMENT THE CATASTROPHIC INCIDENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 (9/11) AT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER IN NEW YORK CITY. THEY ILLUSTRATE THE CRITICAL MOMENTS PRECEDING AND FOLLOWING THE ATTACKS, ENCOMPASSING AN AIRCRAFT IN PROXIMITY TO THE TOWERS, OCCUPANTS WITHIN THE STRUCTURES RESPONDING TO THE COLLISION, EXTENSIVE SMOKE AND STRUCTURAL DEVASTATION, AND PERSONNEL ATTEMPTING EVACUATION THROUGH COMPROMISED LEVELS.

THE PHOTOGRAPHS ENCAPSULATE THE PROFOUND SHOCK, APPREHENSION, DEVASTATION, AND URGENT SURVIVAL ATTEMPTS THAT CHARACTERIZED THE UNFOLDING CRISIS. THEY ADDITIONALLY FUNCTION AS A SIGNIFICANT TESTAMENT TO THE MULTITUDE OF INDIVIDUALS WHO PERISHED AND THE FIREFIGHTERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL, EMERGENCY PERSONNEL, AND CIVILIAN RESPONDERS WHO DEMONSTRATED EXCEPTIONAL BRAVERY THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 — A DATE THAT FUNDAMENTALLY ALTERED THE COURSE OF HISTORY AND REMAINS INDELIBLY ETCHED IN COLLECTIVE MEMORY. 🇺🇸🕊️

THE STORY OF PATER MIKE 🕯
"OH, MY GOD, THIS IS PATER MIKE"
THE FIRST VICTIM | AMONG THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE FIGURES AT THE TRADE CENTER WAS PATER MYCHAL JUDGE, ONE OF THE SIX CHAPLAINS SERVING THE NEW YORK CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT. HE WAS A SOCIABLE, OPENLY GAY, FORMER ALCOHOLIC OF IRISH DESCENT, RENOWNED THROUGHOUT THE CITY FOR HIS COMPASSION TOWARDS FIREFIGHTERS, THE HOMELESS, AND INDIVIDUALS AFFECTED BY AIDS. SINCE 1992, HE HAD BEEN A CHAPLAIN AT FDNY AND HAD PARTICIPATED IN NUMEROUS EMERGENCIES, INCLUDING THE 1996 TWA FLIGHT 800 DISASTER THAT OCCURRED OVER SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK. ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, HE WAS AMONG THE FIRST RESPONDERS TO THE WORLD TRADE CENTER, BELIEVED TO BE THE ONLY PRIEST WHO ENTERED THE TWIN TOWERS THAT DAY.

CHIEF JOSEPH PFEIFER, BATTALION 1, FDNY: HE WAS WITH US IN THE LOBBY, AND I COULD SEE HIM PRAYING.

LT. BILL COSGROVE, NYPD: AT THAT MOMENT, THE ENTIRE BUILDING SHOOK. ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS SUCKING SOUND. WE THOUGHT OUR BUILDING HAD COLLAPSED, BUT IT WAS THE OTHER ONE. THE PRESSURE SHATTERED THE WINDOWS OF TOWER ONE. IT WAS COMPLETE DARKNESS.

WESLEY WONG, CHIEF SPECIAL AGENT, FBI NEW YORK: I TOOK A FEW STEPS AND STUMBLED UPON WHAT I INITIALLY THOUGHT WAS A PILE OF DEBRIS. I COULD BARELY DISCERN THE OUTLINE OF A SUIT. I CALLED OUT TO A FEW FIREFIGHTERS, SAYING, "HEY, I THINK ONE OF YOU IS DOWN AND INJURED." TWO OF THEM APPROACHED TO INVESTIGATE IN THE DARK.

LT. BILL COSGROVE: ONE OF THE FIREFIGHTERS ILLUMINATED HIM WITH A LAMP, AND I CAN STILL RECALL HIS ASTONISHMENT AS HE EXCLAIMED, "OH, MY GOD, THIS IS PATER MIKE."

WESLEY WONG: WE LIFTED PATER JUDGE OFF THE GROUND AND PROCEEDED TOWARDS THE EXIT.

THESE IMAGES DEPICT THE TERRORIST ATTACKS THAT OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, IN NEW YORK CITY, SHOWCASING THE WORLD TRADE CENTER AMIDST THE CATASTROPHIC EVENTS.

THE FIRST IMAGE REVEALS ONE OF THE TWIN TOWERS SHROUDED IN DENSE SMOKE AND FLAMES FOLLOWING THE IMPACT OF AN AIRPLANE.
A SUBSEQUENT PHOTOGRAPH CAPTURES AN AIRPLANE APPROACHING THE TOWERS, HIGHLIGHTING THE HORRIFYING OCCURRENCES OF THAT FATEFUL MORNING.
THESE PICTURES DOCUMENT THE OVERWHELMING FIRE, SMOKE, AND DEVASTATION ENVELOPING THE WORLD TRADE CENTER.
THE ATTACKS LED TO THE TRAGIC LOSS OF NEARLY 3,000 LIVES, INCLUDING THOSE OF CIVILIANS, FIREFIGHTERS, POLICE OFFICERS, AND OTHER FIRST RESPONDERS.

ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, NEW YORK CITY EXPERIENCED ONE OF THE MOST TRAGIC EVENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY. THE WORLD TRADE CENTER WAS THE SITE OF AN EXTRAORDINARY ASSAULT THAT TOOK THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT INDIVIDUALS. THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ENCAPSULATE A SIGNIFICANT MOMENT IN HISTORY AND SERVE AS A POIGNANT REMINDER TO HONOR THE VICTIMS, PAY TRIBUTE TO THE HEROES, AND ENSURE THAT SEPTEMBER 11 IS NEVER FORGOTTEN. 🇺🇸🕊️

NEVER FORGET 9/11.

THIS PHOTOGRAPH COMPRISES A SERIES OF IMAGES CHRONICLING THE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 ASSAULT ON THE WORLD TRADE CENTER IN NEW YORK CITY. IT DEPICTS BOTH THE NORTH TOWER AND SOUTH TOWER AS ONE OF THE TOWERS IS IMPACTED, SUBSEQUENTLY REVEALING ESCALATING FLAMES, DENSE SMOKE, AND DEBRIS. THE REPEATED IMAGES ILLUSTRATE THE UNFOLDING OF THE EVENT OVER A SPAN OF MOMENTS.

THIS SERVES AS A POIGNANT HISTORICAL DOCUMENTATION OF THE ATTACKS AND A SOLEMN REMINDER OF THE LIVES LOST ON 9/11. NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸 #911

IN MEMORY OF BRADLEY HODGES VADAS 🕯️
BRADLEY HODGES VADAS WAS 37 YEARS OLD WHEN HE TRAGICALLY LOST HIS LIFE DURING THE TERRORIST ATTACKS ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, AT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. HE SERVED AS A SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AT THE FINANCIAL FIRM KEEFE, BRUYETTE & WOODS IN THE SOUTH TOWER AND WAS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE COMPANY’S LEADING TRADERS, A CLEVER STRATEGIST WHO CONSISTENTLY AIMED FOR FAIRNESS WHILE ALSO STRIVING FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE RESULTS.

OUTSIDE OF HIS PROFESSIONAL LIFE, BRADLEY EMBRACED LIFE WITH ENTHUSIASM. HE HAD A PASSION FOR CHESS, ENJOYED PLAYING SOFTBALL ON SUNDAY MORNINGS AT THE BEACH, AND LOVED BOATING AND FISHING. HE ALSO HELD A PROFOUND APPRECIATION FOR NATURE, PARTICULARLY IN WYOMING, WHERE HE OWNED A SECOND HOME. FRIENDS CHARACTERIZED HIM AS A PERSON OF STRONG CHARACTER WITH A UNIQUE ABILITY TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS.

HE HAD BEEN IN A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS PARTNER, KRIS MCFERREN, FOR NINE YEARS. JUST PRIOR TO HIS UNTIMELY DEATH, THEY HAD MADE PLANS TO MARRY THE FOLLOWING SPRING AND EMBARK ON THE NEXT CHAPTER OF THEIR LIVES TOGETHER.

HIS LIFE WAS CUT SHORT FAR TOO EARLY. HOWEVER, IN THE HEARTS OF HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND COLLEAGUES, BRADLEY CONTINUES TO BE REMEMBERED AS A PASSIONATE, INTELLIGENT, AND JOYFUL INDIVIDUAL WHOSE FUTURE WAS FILLED WITH ASPIRATIONS… ASPIRATIONS THAT WERE ABRUPTLY TAKEN AWAY ON SEPTEMBER 11.

I SHARE THESE NARRATIVES TO ENSURE THAT THE INDIVIDUALS BEHIND THE NAMES ARE NEVER FORGOTTEN. THEIR LIVES, THEIR DREAMS, THEIR FAMILIES, THEY ALL MATTERED. EVEN IF WE DID NOT KNOW THEM PERSONALLY, EVERY KIND FACE HAD A STORY, A LIFE, AND LOVED ONES. THIS IS WHY IT IS CRUCIAL TO REMEMBER NOT JUST THE NUMBER OF VICTIMS, BUT TO RECOGNIZE THAT EACH ONE WAS A PERSON, SOMEONE JUST LIKE YOU AND ME. AND THAT THIS EVENT TRULY OCCURRED. WE HONOR THEM NOT SOLELY FOR HOW THEY DIED, BUT FOR HOW THEY LIVED. FOREVER REMEMBERED.

CURRENTLY, IT IS 4:55 A.M. IN NEW YORK.

AT THIS PRECISE MOMENT, 25 YEARS AGO, THE WORLD WAS IN A STATE OF PEACE. NEW YORK WAS STILL IN SLUMBER, AS WERE MANY INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD SOON BE INVOLVED IN ONE OF THE MOST TRAGIC DAYS IN CONTEMPORARY HISTORY.

THE TWIN TOWERS REMAINED ERECT. THE CITY WAS UNCHANGED. FAMILIES WERE RESTING, AND INDIVIDUALS WERE PREPARING FOR ANOTHER TYPICAL DAY, ENTIRELY OBLIVIOUS TO THE IMPENDING EVENTS.

THE VIEW MAY APPEAR SIMILAR. THE SKYLINE HAS TRANSFORMED. THE POPULACE HAS CHANGED. AND THE WORLD HAS EVOLVED.

YET, WE REMEMBER.

WE SHALL NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸🕊️
