We have seen the Twin Towers collapse hundreds of times on TV. The steel and glass skyscrapers exploding like a bag of flour, the dust and smoke pluming out across Manhattan. But never like this, from above.
Nine years after the defining moment of the 21st century, a stunning set of photographs taken by New York Police helicopters forces us to look afresh at a catastrophe we assumed we knew so well.
You know but cannot see the 2,752 men, women and children who died at the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001. None is visible here.

At first the police helicopter is far away before it moves through the smoke to show the flames pouring out of the ravaged North Tower

I wasn't aware they had started building, in fact I thought they couldn't make their minds up what to do with the site at all.
