Film director James Cameron surfaces from a submarine dive to the wreck of the Titanic, only for actor Bill Paxton to personally inform him about today’s attacks.
The entire event is caught on film-quality video.
Firefighters at the World Trade Center site raise an American flag over the rubble for the first time.
Photographer Thomas E. Franklin captures the dramatic moment.
I usually post this image of Ladder 118 each year on 9/11 because for some reason it's always carried the most weight for me. I think it's because 118 -- shiny and swift, standing into fiery danger to save the townspeople -- is a modern image of St. George fighting the dragon.
U.S. Coast Guard Lieutenant Mike Day commences the waterborne evacuation from Manhattan aboard any available craft.
It’s an immense operation, and its scale will eclipse Dunkirk - but it has to be done.
Very few people ever talk about it, but we live in a society that can’t take anything seriously anymore.
Everything has to be dripping with irony and condescension at all times and it’s honestly just so exhausting and tiresome.
It’s getting to the point where the “transgressive” thing to do is to treat serious things seriously.
The rubble at the scene of the World Trade Center collapse is filled with the sounds of “PASS devices,” or emergency signals attached to firefighters when they are no longer moving.
The scale of overlapping PASS alarms bespeaks the horrible death toll that must have taken place here.
Yet worse - the alarms can’t be stopped because the bodies haven’t been found.
If the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened today, millions of leftists would be celebrating and making memes about “rich white people” jumping from the burning buildings.

2001年9月11日に米国で発生した同時多発テロ事件から、本日で25年を迎えます。
この事件により、3000名近い方が犠牲となりました。
その中には24名の邦人の方もいらっしゃいました。
御家族や御友人など大切な方をなくされた方のお気持ちに思いを致し、この機会に、改めて心からの哀悼の誠を捧げます。
また、厳粛にこの日を迎える米国国民への変わらぬ連帯を表明いたします。
この事件は極めて卑劣かつ許し難い攻撃でした。
テロは自由で開かれた国際秩序に対する挑戦であり、いかなる理由であっても正当化できません。
我が国として、テロを未然に防止すべく、国際社会とも連携して取り組んでまいります。
Today marks 25 years since the terrorist attacks that occurred in the United States on September 11, 2001.
These attacks claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 individuals, including 24 Japanese nationals.
On this solemn occasion, extending my thoughts and deepest sympathies to those who lost their precious family members and friends, I once again express my heartfelt condolences and renew my unwavering solidarity with the American people as they solemnly observe this day.
These attacks were utterly despicable and unforgivable acts.
Terrorism constitutes a challenge to the free and open international order and can never be justified for any reason whatsoever.
Japan is committed to continuing its efforts, in close cooperation with the international community, to prevent such acts of terrorism in the future.
