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. Terror: A tidal wave of dust and debris roars through lower Manhattan as the World Trade Centre collapses on September 11, 2001 Collapse: This image captures the sheer size of the debris cloud enveloping buildings and cars as the towers collapse The cloud spreads out, consuming the surrounding area and moving out over the East River The moment one of the World Trade Centre towers begins to crumble in New York Target: Smoke fills the surrounding area as the South Tower collapses after the terrorist attack by Al Qaeda 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 Deadly: A total of seven World Trade Centre buildings were destroyed that day, killing 2,752 people Left, a plume of smoke rises up from one of the towers as it collapses. Right, eight years on a new tower rises up at 'Ground Zero'

That last piccy came as a bit of a surprise. 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.
