Ten years after September 11, 2011, images of the deadliest attacks ever launched on American soil have lost none of their power to stun, appall, enrage, and devastate. The United States had experienced nothing like it since Pearl Harbor, and even that assault did not share the profoundly sinister air of having been aimed — clearly, murderously — at civilians.
To mark and perhaps, in a small way, lend coherence to our remembrance, LIFE.com curated this collection of 911 photographs. And so here they are: images you remember; images forgotten, or never seen; moments great and small from New York, Washington, and cities around the world as the scale of the cataclysm grew unspeakably clear. This is 9/11 — 911 Photographs of 9/11

The 102-story Art Deco tower in Midtown Manhattan known as the Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world from its completion on May 1, 1931, until the World Trade Center eclipsed it in 1972. It was the product of the labor of 3,400 men.
Artists Sergey Larenkov and Jo Teeuwisse have embarked on separate but really similar photo projects (“Ghosts of WWII’s Past” and “Ghosts of Amsterdam”), and both are awesome.
Each artist is taking WWII-era photos that they’ve found at flea markets and locating the site where the snapshots were taken. Then they’re taking a photo of the modern day site and overlaying the old photos into the scene to create eerie but really cool “ghost photos.”
