The Daily News has posted six powerful videos featuring News photographers who documented September 11, 2001. The photographers, David Handschuh, Todd Maisel, Debbie Egan-Chin, Andrew Savullich, Susan Watts, and Ken Murray, offer their memories of the day—from the chaos to the unnerving silence after the buildings collapsed—with their photographs, many of which are extremely graphic (Handschuh remembers how people started jumping, Maisel describes body parts falling from the sky).
Handschuh notes that the News' photographs show many firefighters, police officers and other first responders who died, but the victims' families might take some solace in seeing their loved ones doing what they loved to do— saving people. Handschuh was also injured, he was buried under debris and his leg shattered: Firefighters removed him and then other rescuers carried him to a deli in Battery Park City.
Watts says, "I couldn't believe what I was seeing. You shoot first and you ask questions later... And I'm looking up, looking at bodies falling from the sky. Your brain can't keep up with the reality in front of your eyes."
Here are the videos—warning, some of the images are very graphic and may be disturbing to some viewers:

Andrew Savullich, who said, "Personally, I would not like to dwell on this... maybe I just don't want to relive this too much and all the anniversary stuff brings it all back."
