Photographer shares unusual view of twin towers before 9/11
It was a photo that anyone might have taken. In the years leading to Sept. 11, 2001, Americans took to the skies like never before, numbering in the millions, taking in the bird’s-eye view above the clouds.
Katie Weisberger, a freshman in the photography program at New York University, was flying back from her home in Richmond, Virginia. She had a Nikon 35 mm film camera at the ready when the twin towers came into view.
“It was very early morning, and I just remember it being really beautiful, watching the sun rise and taking photographs.
"I had no idea I took that photo. It was on the negative.”
