Twelve images newly released by the government of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorists' attacks on the World Trade Center provide a fresh look at the tragedy and its impact on New York City.
The photographs obtained by ABC News show, among other things, tugboats and commuter ferries that raced to the shoreline near the burning twin towers. Aerial images depict the extent of dust and debris plume engulfing lower Manhattan. Others offer new perspectives on the blanket of white ash that covered the ground.
The latest release follows Monday's publication of other newly released photos first obtained by ABC News from the federal agency investigating the buildings' collapse.
The extensive collection of photos and some videos collected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the horrific aftermath of two commercial jetliners hitting the towers, leaving 2,750 dead.
While many of the pictures are similar images the to has seen before, some are from different vantage points or angles.
