Twin Towers' Desruction
Photographic Evidence of the Fall of the Twin Towers
The surviving photographs of the tower collapses are an invaluable resource for understanding the cause and nature of the largest structural failures in history. Given the rapidity with which the suffocating dust invaded the surrounding city, many photographs were taken at great personal risk. Indeed, at least one professional photographer, Bill Biggart, died in the act of recording the horrific events.
