Are all these pictures of the north tower?
Yes, North Tower. Despite the worlds’ cameras being trained on the WTC by the time the second tower was hit, this is the only decent image I can find of the South Tower gash. It is enhanced and I can find no source for it. Curious, eh? 😉
Definitely curious, like so many things that happened on that day…
…and not a SCRAP of plane debris…
