Over 8 years later and pictures like this still have the same effect-namely they bring the events of that day right back to me. I still have a few VHS tapes of live news feeds from that day which I haven't looked at in years. Hard to believe it really happened. I vividly remember going down there about two weeks later, when you could get close enough to see what was left. You could see building facades covered in dust 15 stories up. And still smell the burned flesh. Upon glancing the piles of rubble for the first time, I muttered something vaguely similar to Charleton Heston in that iconic scene at the end of the first Planet of the Apes film.
We need to remember this no matter how painful.
