Rizzoli New York is releasing a book entitled Supreme: Downtown New York Skate Culture in April 2010 that will be a sort of retrosepctive on the New York City skateboarding scene from the eyes of Aaron Bondaroff, one of the founding members of Supreme and aNYthing.

The book is going to be sold for $50, but if you pre-order the title now on Amazon.com, you can get it for just $31.50.

I have never seen this particular footage of United Airlines flight 175 crashing into the South Tower. I’m sorry for those who don’t want to see these videos, but I feel like reviewing the events helps me cope in some odd way. Anyway, in this video, the person filming gets a clear glimpse of Flight 175 as it makes its way quickly into the NYC downtown area.

As always, The Big Picture does an incredible job of posting relevant images pertaining to a major news event, in this case, the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

They have a large image of The Falling Man, an iconic image taken by Richard Drew that inspired a documentary film (posted previously), as well as a number of amazing photos of Ground Zero then and now.

The image above shows Ground Zero on October 4, 2001.
