FBI Has Released 12 Unseen Photos Of The 9/11 Attacks And They Will Shock You To The Core!

“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honour. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children.”

These were the words of the then American President, George W Bush after one of the world’s deadliest terrorist attacks in history took place on September 11, 2001, on American soil. The well-coordinated attacks on the World trade centre and Pentagon (Headquarters of America’s Department of Defence) by ‘al-Qaeda’ killed 2996 people, injured about 6000 others and caused about $10 billion in property and infrastructure damage.

While the heinous attacks took place about 16 years ago and Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind it was killed in 2011, the wounds they gave are very hard to heal. America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released some rare and unseen pictures of the Pentagon right after the attacks, that will shock you to the core and go through the pain and ordeal of the people who witnessed the aftermath of the horrific incident. Take a look

These photographs are a stark reminder of the pain that extremism and terrorism have given to the world. At a time when world peace is in danger due to these forces, it is important that we thank those who stand for us and guard us at the borders and the first responders who rescue people without caring for their own lives.

Let’s hope humanity doesn’t have to witness such devastation due to the sick mentality of a few ever again.
