It has been 16 years since the devastating attacks of September 11. Coverage of the disaster during which almost 3,000 died was the main priority that day for most Western news organizations (the scenes were seen by an expected two billion individuals - 33% of humankind). Together with beginner records, this has produced such an incredible amount of film, some of it is infrequently observed even today.
Here is a collection of some of the rarest 9/11 pictures from over the web. From road shots of the towers going down to satellite pictures of New York City, these photographs uncover new angles of the terrible day that changed the world for ever.
