large is an understatement. I'm running my desktop at 1600x1200 and it still takes up two full screens wide and 3.5 screens tall

Thanks for the pic, though

So much smoke.

It is still hard to believe that they are gone... I am going to have to go to NY I think just to make it totally real for me. I was just at the towers last year.

 

[nicowju]

wow. That is a truly incredible picture... I will have to pay a visit to NYC at some point in the near future... I can't believe they're gone! and :|

I've been showing this image to people in the office by showing them the baseball field in the bottom left corner of the image, then scrolling over to the destruction.

Simply amazing.

Back at home, I used to see them daily... they were so beautiful and majestic. Downtown manhattan was so great because of them. I used to take my gf there every so often.

I'm up at school now and I can't imagine them not being there. The beautiful skyline is ruined. They defined the NY skyline. They were like the gateway to NYC.

I definitely want them rebuilt. It's just not the same without them.

it's true, it' so hard to believe. a friend of mine who witnessed it, is in partial shock. the usual after effects- lack of sleep, he gets scared of loud noises, scared to be alone... nightmares... it's horrible. it's so sad

Skyline before and after

 

[cipher00]

So very sad. I have a view of the wreckage from my office window (in NJ). I'm still wondering.

Amazing. I used to live in the lower left of the "after" image, in one of the buildings across the Manhattan Bridge across from the baseball park you see. Is that big, white, flat building to the left of the bridge still a Pathmark grocery store?

here is a crop of what was there, i put some labels in it. not everything labeled is gone.

basically, according to what i can gather, everything to the left of the middle is pretty much either GONE, heavily damaged, or cosmetically damaged.

if you notice to the immediate right of the towers, that area is actually an underground mall, and shopping area. the "hotel" label is covering part of it.

the street immediately to the left of the "city hall" label is broadway. I put the woolworth building there because it's a famous building.

the buildings all the way to the left with the torquoise-ish roofs are other buildings in the WTC complex.

the highway between those torquoise-ish roofs buildings and the twin towers is the "west side highway." the area to the left of the west side highway is called "battery park city." note that battery park city is a RESIDENTIAL area. you'll notice some empty areas north of the cropped picture i posted in the larger version. those areas ARE empty lots. buildings have NOT been built there yet. if you look at the big picture (manhattan_before_psh.jpg) you'll notice that battery park city basically ends. battery park city is landfill. it was created from the excavation of the WTC, twin towers, et al.

this is a crop of battery park city i went to stuyvesant.
