difficult to look at

what a healing experience it is to view these pictures. i live in new york and witnessed the attacks on and subsequent collapse of the towers. my apartment building is 10 blocks north of ground zero. while my cell phone still worked i recieved a call from my mother who was sobbing as my eldest brother was on a flight that morning out of Laguardia and my neice had just begun a new job "somewhere downtown" on monday sept 10th. both are safe, my brothers plane landed in chicago and i found my neice 3 hours later shaken but unhurt. unfortunately i lost 2 friends-one in tower two and the other on the united flight. the most moving photos for me and the ones that bring the tears are those of my fellow new yorkers staring in disbelief at the unfolding horror. i continually relive the crash of the second plane into tower 2, the collapse of the towers and building 7 but those visuals in my head do not compare to the pictures in this and similar books.
the towers were not loved by new yorkers in the way that the empire state building or chrysler building are. i never thought i would miss them so much. they were an anchor for those of us who live downtown. the hole in the sky is more of a daily shock than the hole in the ground.
my hope is that rest of america which loves to hate new york saw our humanity that day. these books are testament to that.

A book of opposites

Manages to be both horrific and beautiful, heart-wrenching and uplifting. A book which must be experienced to be believed. This has to be one of Time-Life's best efforts.

Excellent Portrayal of 9-11

I have to admit, I was wary of a publication about 9-11, cynically thinking most publications are for exploitation and profit only but this book is not that at all. Life Magazine, as always, presents us with a beautiful piece of work, taking us to that tragic day, offering insight as well as edification. This book is exceptional and I highly recommend it!

Tear-jerking remembrance

I received this book in my stocking for christmas. When I sat down to look at it, the personal testimonies and the introduction from Mayor Giuliani brought tears to my eyes. Everyone in America should have a copy of this book to remember the terrible attack on our great nation.
