Witnessing 911 Through AP Eyes | Global News

On September 11, 2001, AP journalists like Karen Matthews, Richard Drew, and Jeremy Brown were thrust into history’s most harrowing moment—documenting the terror attacks on the World Trade Center as they unfolded. What began as confusion over a small plane turned into a chilling realization of mass destruction. Matthews captured the shock of her daughter’s preschool morning shattered by explosions; Drew risked everything to snap iconic images, including “The Falling Man”; Brown followed a firefighter into shelter as debris collapsed around them. The aftermath revealed an eerie silence in hospitals where wheelchairs sat empty—a haunting symbol of loss. Even now, 25 years later, these reporters carry the trauma and gratitude of bearing witness, forever changed by a day that ripped apart security and redefined their lives.
