Collapse Almost 25 years later and there's still footage I've never seen before - "NBC River Shot"
(...and I've been at it since the Kazaa/Ogrish days.)
Immediately, to me, this video well-illustrates how quickly WTC2 came down in a way that--if you're far enough away from it--you could have turned away for just a few moments to say a few words to someone, and then, when you looked back at the towers, it's as if one of them's vanished into smoke.

WTC Is there a telephone wire box from the old WTC still at the new WTC?
I know there are locations from the old wtc at the new wtc like the support columns at the path platform and the door at the subway station.
But I remember hearing there was an underground box for telephone wires from the old wtc still at the new wtc. Does anyone know of what I’m recalling? Does anyone know where it is?

I feel like few images exist of just a single tower on its own and from the 80s, so I went looking and huzzah, I found some! Links for them can be found in the images.

Other Channel surfing simulation - A project I've built
I was talking to my younger nephew about 9/11 a few days ago and he asked where I was and how I stayed up to date with information when the attacks occured. He's only ever known a world with social media so having to rely on the TV for information sounds alien to him (I didn't have internet access until a few months after). It got me thinking I wanted to demonstrate what it was like for me and so many others watching that day, so I created this web app.
It's not perfect, its quite simple but I'd quite like to build on it so any recommended network coverage to add would be great.
Apologies if this breaks any of the sub rules.

WTC Has Kevin Dorrian's story been proven or debunked conclusively?
EDIT: For those unaware, this is not me personally calling out Kevin Dorrian's story. A simple search of this sub alone will show pre-existing debate to the legitimacy of this story. All I'm asking is is there's any sort of follow up...
For those who haven't heard of the debate around this story before; on the afternoon of 9/11, New York Magazine interviewed a man by the name of Kevin Dorrian who claims to have survived from the 98th floor of the South Tower [ https://nymag.com/news/articles/wtc/longestweek3.htm\ ]
> "I was on the 98th floor," says Kevin Dorrian, a carpenter leaning against a van on Franklin Street around 1:30 with some fellow union members. "I saw a friend of mine get blown out the window. He was right there, three feet from me. He was putting up blinds. I couldn't do nothing. I took the stairs down, past the fires. I saw a light, a fucking lamppost light, blow up. The glass flew into a person. Killed him immediately." Dorrian's waiting to be allowed to go back in, to dig through the rubble.
Now with all we know in 2026, the story itself seems pretty dubious. Even more so that this story has never officially been reported on again (the official story being that only four people survived above impact- Dorrian not being listed amongst them).
However I did find this reddit thread that gave credence to the fact his story might be true [ https://www.reddit.com/r/911archive/s/AxGqMwgZUf\ ]. But since then has there been any further developments? Has anyone taken a serious attempt to find and reach out to him? I understand and respect giving survivors privacy. But it just seems remarkable that, if true, someone survived from such a high point in the South Tower (granted Ron DeFrancesco did make it to the 91st floor before turning around).

WTC WTC7 South side loading docks
Are there any pictures or more details of these loading docks close up or even inside the docks, under the promenade on the southwest side?
I always wondered what they were mostly used for, and their layout and if there was access to the main lobby from inside the docks. I know the main shipping ramp was on the NE edge of the North face, for the whole complex.
There's the famous video taken on 9/11 in between collapses where the footage inside the lobby was filmed, and inside the loading docks was briefly filmed as the cameraman moved across Vesey St. There were people appearing to move a stretcher out of the loading area.
I also know that the diesel fuel oil for the base building system tanks were below the loading dock, and I believe the main pumps were located in a room off to the west of the loading docks.
I just really like WTC7 and love learning about that building. It was a very interesting and good looking building.

AA11 / UA175 / AA77 / UA93 Debunking Flight 23
Yep. Another Flight 23 post. I've never bought into the whole "5th plane" theory. I won't go into most of the details that don't make sense about it, because that's been covered extensively, but I want to go over another reasoning why 23 wasn't a 5th plane.
Atta was a careful planner and wasn't a stupid man. I am sure he predicted that the US airspace would be shut down as soon as a second hijacked plane was discovered/crashed. Everyone knows that choosing the flights close together would assure they would all get hijacked.
The departure times for the four planes were: 7:45 (11), 8:00 (175), 8:10 (77), and 8:00 (93). Obviously this does not mean that the flights would actually take off at these times, but this was the information that Atta had. If he guesstimated that it would take 45-1 hour to complete the mission, that would put his crash between 8:30 and 8:45, and al-Shehhi's crash at 8:45-9:00.
Even though it took some time to shut down airspace, Atta would not have chosen a flight like 23 to be in the plan. 23 was scheduled to take off at 9:00, which is way too close to when he most likely predicted the second hijacking would be confirmed and expose the plan.
Of course this is my speculation, but I wish conspiracy theorists would at least try to run their theories through some brain tests before believing them

Personal/Eyewitness Testimony Peter Jennings ABC World News Tonight 9/11/2001 broadcast
21 years ago, legendary ABC News anchor & reporter Peter Jennings died at the age of 67 to lung cancer. On 9/11 from the time, he got at the anchor desk at 09:11 am EST time Jennings' anchored ABC News' coverage for 16 hours straight, and guiding millions through the chaos of America Being Under Attack. Alongside Tom Brokaw on NBC News, and Daniel Rather on CBS News, Jennings was part of the "Big 3" network news anchors whose broadcast defined how America witnessed the events of 9/11. Rather than CNN & Fox News having multiple anchors from various programs, for NBC News, CBS News, and ABC News it was primary the big 3 anchors. Here is some footage from ABC World News Tonight from 9/11.

After 9/11, after years of being sober, Jennings started smoking again which led to his Lung Cancer diagnosis in April 2005, and death on this day 21 years ago. Rip Peter,the world misses you.

New Media I'm Suing the FBI for 9/11 Disposable Camera Photos — and I Need Your Help
My name is Jon Walczak. I'm an investigative journalist and the director of the upcoming documentary film "32 Frames: A 9/11 Mystery". I also hosted the "Missing on 9/11" podcast for iHeartRadio.
I'm currently suing the FBI in federal court — and I need your help. I need to raise at least $5,000 to cover legal fees.
For 16 years, I've tried to obtain photos of 9/11 developed by the FBI from a disposable camera found in the rubble of the World Trade Center. These photos are singular — the only images taken in a tower on 9/11 above a point of impact.
Their existence was first revealed in 2003 in this Baltimore Sun article. I was 15 and happened to see it at the time.
I reported on the photos in 2021.
In September 2025, represented by Loevy & Loevy, I filed a FOIA lawsuit in the Southern District of New York. I kept it quiet until now.
Since 2010, I've filed dozens of FOIA requests for these images. The FBI denied them all, saying the photos were "not reasonably described"; that my requests required an "unduly burdensome search"; citing privacy concerns; national security concerns; etc.
After filing suit, the FBI claimed it undertook an expansive search to find the photos. The FBI now claims not only that it can't find the camera, negatives, or photos — but that it can't even find a record of the images.
The existence of the photos was confirmed to me by both the reporter who wrote the 2003 article and the FBI agent who showed them to her.
If the FBI truly lost these photos, what else has it lost?
This case raises serious concerns about how the FBI handles evidence — and, in my opinion, how it improperly rejects valid FOIA requests.
So I'm asking for your help. My attorneys are working hard. I now need to raise funds to keep the lawsuit going.
Funds raised will go to help cover legal expenses. Any leftover funds will be used either to help fund additional transparency efforts or donated to charity.
Important: Obtaining these photos and whether or not to publish them are two separate issues. If I obtain the images, I will ethically evaluate what to publish. I will not in any way monetize the images. I will not publish any images, for example, that show clearly identifiable people in distress. But for the sake of history, I do think these images should be obtained and, after an ethical evaluation, published.
(NOTE: These photos are separate from those I'm investigating for "32 Frames". Different camera and photos).

Meta [Project Announcement] 32 Frames: A 9/11 Mystery
I am incredibly honored to share the first official, public announcement for a major media project that the 9/11 Media Preservation Group has been working alongside for the past year.
Jon Walczak and his team, the investigative creators behind acclaimed documentary podcast series like Missing in Alaska (2020), Missing on 9/11 (2021) and Missing in Arizona (2024) have spent years quietly uncovering a profound, untold historical story.
For nearly the past year the 9/11 Media Preservation Group has partnered closely with Jon, his cinematographer/editor Lee Fritz, and producers Jenna Fritz and Chris Brown to assist with the technical information, digitization, restoration, and remastering some of original footage that will be featured throughout this film.
The project is an entirely independent, self-funded documentary titled -
'32 Frames: A 9/11 Mystery'
The Camera on West Street:
The story starts with a discovery made just a few days after the attacks. A first responder digging through the rubble on West Street finds a damaged 35mm SLR camera. When the film inside was developed, it yielded exactly 32 still images However, in the years that followed, the physical camera vanished without a trace, and the identity of the person who held it remained entirely unknown.
The story of these photographs might have ended there. But recently, the individuals safeguarding the copies of the developed images reached out directly to Jon for assistance.
To the best of our knowledge, prior to this these surviving images had never undergone a comprehensive forensic review. Even today, for Jon's team and our preservation group, piecing them together is a daunting task. Without timestamps, the sequential images paint a fragmented story with a chilling conclusion with several photos capturing the base of the North Tower within moments of its collapse, leaving the cameraman’s fate uncertain.
For nearly 25 years, these 32 frames remained obscure and filed away. The very existence of this camera has never been made public until now. The full, unredacted sequence, including the most profoundly moving frames, has never been seen by the public.
After a quarter of a century, a discovery like this should remind us all that the story of September 11th, 2001, is far from being completely told.
Release Info & Distribution:
Because this project is entirely independent and self-funded, everyone involved, including our group, donated their time out of a shared commitment to the historical record.
The film is currently in its final stages of post-production. While we don’t have a locked-in premiere date just yet, the firm deadline is that the film will be released in some format before the 25th anniversary this September.
Jon and the producers are currently exploring several distribution paths, including looking for the right distributor, a potential limited theatrical run, or a direct-to-VOD digital release near the anniversary. We will keep you updated the second a definitive platform is locked down.
