A photograph captures the aftermath of the World Trade Center collapse with workers on site amidst the debris. A partially destroyed building stands in the background, cranes and construction equipment are scattered around, and the skyline shows adjacent buildings with a reddish hue from the sunlight. In the foreground, a worker wielding a cutting torch is active, while others are engaged in various tasks. The date "WTC 2001-10.05.?" is noted at the bottom of the image.
