On September 11, 2001, Aaron McLamb had just arrived at his workplace near the Brooklyn Bridge when the first airplane crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Eighteen minutes later, he watched in shock from his 10th-floor window as the second plane tore into the South Tower. The 20-year-old ran for his camera to capture a devastating moment in American history.
“It was almost surreal being that high up looking at everything going on down below,” he told New York Daily News. “You couldn’t hear the crackling of the fire or the creaking of the buildings. The only thing we could hear were the sirens from the fire trucks going across the bridge.”
He then snapped an unforgettable photograph of the Ladder 118 fire truck speeding across the bridge with the Twin Towers smoking in the background.
