Terrorists crashed two passenger airliners into the World Trade Center in the worst attack on U.S. soil in the nation's history. But at the same time a new generation of heroes rose up to fight it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese images, which had never been published before, offer a vantage point no ordinary photographers could obtain: They were taken by members of the New York City Police Department, uniformed and civilian, who were on the scene moments after the first plane hit and who were behind the scenes during the entire rescue and recovery effort. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMany officers took photos during the course of their duties. Some were inside the lobbies of the World Trade Center before they collapsed. Some were in helicopters hovering near the burning towers. Some were trapped in the dust cloud after the buildings fell. They took pictures of the pandemonium around them, the fear, the effort, the exasperation. This collection portrays the courage of those who rushed into the danger so that others could escape it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of the featured photographers, Detective Dave Fitzpatrick, was off-duty when he heard a report of the attack over his radio. He immediately went to an NYPD airfield, joined a crew boarding a police helicopter, and flew to the World Trade Center. Over the course of three flights that day, Fitzpatrick shot thousands of photographs that became the only aerial views of the devastation and early rescue efforts downtown. He also covered all Ground Zero operations for the next two months. His best photos, along with those of numerous other members of the NYPD, have been collected in this book.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEstablished in 1845, the \u003cb\u003eNew York City Police Department \u003c\/b\u003e(NYPD) is the largest municipal police force in the United States and is one of the most recognizable law enforcement agencies in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.73 x 12.2 x 9.38 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 26, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48457369288953,"sku":"9780670031719","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/f7Jy7GpXyM9780670031719.webp?v=1780081739","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/above-hallowed-ground-a-photographic-record-of-september-11-2001-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
