FOTOS: Una mirada en retrospectiva a las escenas de los ataques del 11 de septiembre

One tower billows smoke while the other explodes
El humo sale de la torre norte del World Trade Center cuando la torre sur explotó tras ser impactada por el vuelo 175 de United Airlines el 11 de septiembre de 2001. Para los neoyorquinos, las imágenes y los sonidos de la vida cotidiana aún pueden desencadenar recuerdos dolorosos y otros reacciones psicológicas a los ataques.
