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.

The National September 11 Memorial & Museum has a page called Make History that details the events of 9/11/2001 in chronological order based on user-submitted content. You can search media content by location within New York City or by date & time that specific events took place. Overall, I think this is one of the better tribute and memorial webpages out there.

The Camera Planet Archive has a dedicated 9/11 video playlist with lots of footage taken by people in New York City on that fateful day 8 years ago.

City Room has an excellent set of photographs of a 1:200 scale model of the former World Trade Center complex that was recently donated to The National September 11 Memorial & Museum. The scale model was a gift from the American Architectural Foundation which exhibited the model at The Skyscraper Museum in 2004.
I think this is pretty neat and it’ll be wonderful to be able to see such a grand miniature of the former WTC towers. But God only knows when the city will complete the museum and memorial. What is it now…nearly 8 years since the 9/11 attacks and downtown is still a big hole? That’s ridiculous…
