The plane pic - according to researcher YougeneDebs - was shot "at the end of Richards St at the docks, I think. 40d 40m 23.06s N, 74d 00m 56.12s W."

Robert A. Cumins, photographer, Black Star Publishing Co.: "I live in a high-rise on a mountaintop above Upper Montclair, N.J. When I drove to the bottom of the hill, I turned on the radio, and the anchor said, 'Something major is happening at the World Trade Center.' I turned back and went upstairs. The first thing I saw was the skyline and smoke pouring out of the building. I grabbed my camera bag (and ran to) the ninth-floor terrace. I saw this plane coming from south to north. I made a few pictures, and the plane happened to be in them. I made one shot quickly, then all of a sudden I saw a fireball. Everything was in complete silence at this distance. I went inside and turned the TV on. People were screaming that a second plane had hit. I never thought about the plane I had seen. It just wasn't in my mind." - USA Today

Read up on Cumins in this article by the Jerusalem Post, where the foldout cover of People Magazine (seen above) was found. Another interesting article at the journalist resource poynterextra.org has this quote:

"It was not until I was at the (photo processing) lab, about to scan the film to CD did I realize the first two images were of the plane approaching and entering the south tower and then the fireball....that I had followed that plane right into the building! Ironically, the photograph was made with a Nikon 500 mm lens bought 8 years ago to the day, September 11, 1993....I would use it on September 13, 1993 to photograph the handshake between Rabin, Arafat and Clinton on the south lawn of the White House. The picture of the hijacked airliner a second away from hell on September 11, 2001 was made from the west of New York City, 18 miles away, while the sun was still in the Eastern sky, thus the silhouette and holocaust view."

For more of the Cumins story, see also Running Toward Danger, a rare 2002 book by the Newseum... seen in part on Google Books. Regarding the point of perspective: "From the south condos on Claridge Drive, off Pompton Ave; between Verona and Montclair; just under 14 miles from the WTC (not 18 miles as claimed by Cumins). 40d 49m 56.67s N, 74d 13m 23.39s W. Ground elevation is 632ft; he says he was 9 stories up." (Thanks, YougeneDebs)

Photo rediscovered Jan. 23, 2010 by researcher/archivist Prishep. Thanks! This makes the 26th angle (so far collected) to have captured the plane by still photography.

"My name is Robert. I was having breakfast at Joe Junior's in the West Village when a crowd starting to form outside. In short order, we learned the World Trade had suffered some catastrophe. After taking a look at the black gash in the facade of the building, I abandoned breakfast and ran to my apartment across the street and grabbed my camera. It was loaded and ready (I'd just gotton back from Florida several days before). I snapped a few pictures and saw the second plane in my viewfinder. I snapped it instinctively. I had no idea it was going to hit the south tower."

"My camera was trained on the towers when the second plane came into view. The picture I took of the airplane should be in the repository. As viewed from the north, the plane appeared to vanish. When the building erupted in flame, I still had this "disconnect" in my mind and at first refused to believe the plane I'd just seen hit the building. After a few seconds when the sound wave reached us, it was fairly clear that was what happend [sic]."

"After my first shot of the fireball, I was frozen like I was in a trance. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. When the sound wave reached us (it sounded just like in the movies, only not so loud---then again, I was probably 2 miles away)....it brought me back to reality and I snapped this picture."

"At Rector Street and Broadway, a photographer leaned out his window with a medium-format camera and caught the moment before the second plane's impact. Photograph by Rob Howard."
- vanityfair.com NOTE from YougeneDebs regarding the point of perspective, confirming Rob Howard's memory: 40d 42m 26.04s N, 74d 00m 42.66s W. Ground elevation is 31 feet.

"Rob Howard was at the window of his apartment on Rector Street and Broadway. A photographer accustomed to shooting travel, lifestyle, and portraiture, with medium and large-format cameras, Howard leaned out over the sill. He shot up at the bold, vaulting lines of the structure with a Pentax 6x7— just as the plane 'flew over our building and slammed into the south tower,' he says. 'It seemed to take forever. Time stood still.' He rendered the moment right before impact in finely detailed black-and-white, as if he were on an architecture shoot."

NOTE that a 2008 documentary "The 9/11 Hotel" attributed the photo to Christine Sweeting's daughter... in a[nother] blatant error by UK Channel 4.

New to this list March 22, 2010, thanks to Muzza (in his/her first post at pumpitout forum). About the photographer: it seems Moreau - a virtual unknown - sold his photo(s) to the newspaper USA Today in a one time deal (see pdf or full-size jpg image).

The image was rediscovered at a herald-dispatch.com 9/11 photo gallery, which credited the image to "Gannett News Service, Fabien Moreau/USA Today." Note that Gannett Co. Inc. publishes/owns the USA Today newspaper. Apparently the company owns 83 daily U.S. newspapers, and more than 650 magazines and other non-dailies (according to Google Finance). The only other source for Moreau's airplane image found so far is a usatoday.com graphic, in poor resolution.

Point of perspective: TBD

Bond analyst Will Nuñez had gone to his corner newsstand and bought a $14.99 disposable Kodak, hoping to record the smoking tower out his office window "for history's sake," he says. "I remembered an incident back in the thirties when a plane had hit the Empire State Building, and I was always impressed by photos in encyclopedias." Instead, from his perch on the thirty-second floor of One State Street Plaza, he captured the plane's breathtaking blur out his office window, quite unintentionally. In his shot, a colleague, standing before a vast picture window, looks on in silhouette, next to an innocuous baseball trophy, its tiny batter poised on a two-handled loving cup. The plane had streaked by with such speed, Nuñez had not even realized he had caught it on film until he finally got around to developing the roll a week or two later.

UPDATE: More information on this photo added July 21, 2010. "Wowzer" at forums.macresource.com wrote the following post titled "Amazing 9/11/01 Picture" on Nov. 6, 2009:

My friend took this shot on 9/11/01.

As he tells the story, he was in northern Brooklyn the day of the event. He took out his camera and snapped shots after the first tower was hit. He was busy taking extra shots with his Nikon when he saw through the viewfinder that the second tower was on fire/smoking. He saw in the saved image, this picture below. Apparently this shot was published in the center page of Time magazine's special edition regarding 9/11/01.

Really sad to think that those folks in the plane died in about 1 second after the shot. (source, image link dead, however Google images still has a thumbnail version in its cache if you search for the text above)

New addition January 2010 (and July 21) thanks to researcher Prishep. See also alternate source. See what the search for Flight 175 photos has turned up (a huge collection of South Tower explosion pictures). Thanks also to Prishep, there are two more new additions this first week of 2010: Dan Joyce and Masatomo Kuriya. See above.

Much has been written about this award winning photograph. Interestingly, it appeared in the 9/12 New York Times credited to somebody else - Frank J. DeNicola (Note the online version has no photos just photo credits, but the microfilm version at the library does.) Again, DeNicola is credited at covillephotoartcollection.com.... Read an archived article by David Friend describing Carmen's experience handling the rights issues. Initially, a stranger named Doug Haluza helped Carmen get the images on the Internet to her local Arkansas media friends. Hear a recorded phone interview with Haluza, thanks to Jeff Hill of pumpitout.com. Another interview asks AP journalist Robert Bukaty to help explain the photo he took of Carmen holding her camera— published with two different images on the screen. Suspicious conspiracy theorists point to this AP photoshop job as evidence of media complicity in 9/11.

See the pumpitout forum thread built around Jeff Hill's recorded conversation with Ms. Taylor... and others involved. Another pumpitout thread revolves around communicating with Carmen (heidimarie) yourself.

If you recognize the angle of this photo from a familiar video of the impact, you're thinking of the Hezarkhani/CNN shot. Very close cameras.

Point of perspective: "On board a ferry at Station #4 in Battery Park; about 40d 42m 08.01s N, 74d 01m 00.61s W."

Newly found source details, thanks to researcher Prishep. Update January 4, 2010: See more photos from Joe.

"Photo taken by Joe Vazquez at the Gowanus Gas Turbine site. The first plane has crashed into the south tower. The second plane has targeted the other tower. A lone seagull is perched on a coal mound. Striking contrast!"

YougeneDebs placed the gravel pile "at the NW end of 25th St in Brooklyn (on the water)" and the camera looking over the Federal Bureau of Prisons building, near "where 2nd Ave would meet 28th St, if those streets went that far." - discussion
