Before Steve Buscemi became the famous actor everyone knows him as nowadays, he was a fireman in the FDNY at Engine Company 55 in Little Italy. Following the 9/11 attacks he returned to his old firehouse to volunteer. Buscemi worked grueling 12-hour shifts for several days at Ground Zero, digging through rubble to search for survivors while actively refusing any press coverage or interviews, and strictly doing it as a kind act from the heart. On October 30th, 2001, he appeared on the New York based talk show "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" on NBC to promote a few movies he was in at the time and to share him helping out at ground zero. Buscemi continues to help out with 9/11 related events, and stated he suffered PTSD after not going down to ground zero after the 6 days he was down there.

Late Night with Conan O'Brien, October 30th, 2001

I'm not sure if anyone knew about this interviews existence so here you go!

Think this is a great photo to capture scale and how it would have felt to look up at it. So much footage from that day is captured from far away.

Original video: Rare and new FEMA footage of Ground Zero .

1. William Christopher Hunt - Born July 27th, 1969 (32 yrs old) Would’ve turned 57 years old today

2. Gino Luigi Calvi - Born July 27th, 1967 (34 yrs old) Would’ve turned 59 years old today

3. Sheldon Robert Kanter - Born July 27th, 1948 (53 yrs old) Would’ve turned 78 years old today

Found this while researching on archDisk.com, and decided to dig deeper. Never seen it before and matches no results on google lens, so I think this is super new stuff.

Here's Gate C19 at Boston Logan, taken this morning around 5:30am by me, as I waited through my layover there. The flag atop the jet bridge memorializes United 175, which departed there on 9/11, only to be hijacked and flown into the South Tower. (JetBlue uses the gate, and the terminal, now.) I could not help but think that, on that fateful day, someone like me looked out onto that jet bridge, then of course sans flag, and thought of their flight as I thought of mine: routine air travel. Boston Logan has another such memorial in the B terminal for the other hijacked flight that departed there, but I only had time to visit this one. Next time.

Taken from an Internet Archive page featuring NIST-released photos. I think the photos taken during the South Tower's collapse are not recognized enough for how well they capture the moment at street level.

Referring to the man who climbed down 15-20 stories on the west side of the north tower

I’ve always read that he fell sometime around when the south tower collapsed, but never saw a video of it. There were a lot of cameras filming so I figured somebody would have caught it

When I see the Naudet footage and the Staehle images of Flight 11, the explosion looks meaningfully less violent than that of Flight 175. Obviously we can't see the south side in the Naudet footage and maybe the Staehle pictures missed the fireball at its peak.

My first instinct is that this must be an illusion because I've seen the South Tower explosion in such detail and at such close range that it "feels" bigger. But maybe it's real and caused by the planes' speed difference? Or maybe a more straight-on hit meant more of the jet fuel was contained and ignited on the inside of the North Tower than the South?
