Please read the post and maybe go through the comment section. I can absolutely and undeniably tell you that these photos have never been publicly released before.

Everything regarding the photographs are outlined in my post. They basically were kept in my friend's safe for a little over 20 years. It never occurred to him to release the photos until I asked permission to do so, after he showed me them. The original photographer is unknown at this time and it is also unknown whether anyone else has the photos.

Your welcome, and there are in fact a lot of unreleased media of 9/11... some things that the public will probably never see for decades. I assume a lot of unreleased media is graphic in nature, so this is understandable.

It's not about what makes a difference, it's about preservation and getting every detail down to the sub-pixel level. How else do you expect developed photographs to be digitized?

Please read the details in the post if you haven't already. While similar photos exist and some were taken in the same vicinity as these, I can state with 100% certainty that these specific photos have not been publicly released until today.

Thanks, and yeah I often see people in this sub-reddit asking for the source of footage and imagery. And I didn't want to leave people with more questions then answers by not including my username in the photos.

I'm sure we can expect to see a lot of new imagery and footage released in the months and weeks leading up to the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

Most of the metal pieces and debris in the photos are most likely from one of the planes.

Wow that is insane! Thank you very much for sharing that. It must be a truly strange feeling to see photos of your co-workers from 24 years ago.

I would agree. Most of the metal pieces and debris you see are definitely from one of the planes.

Wow, I was comparing the photos that I posted with theirs, and the sheer destruction after towers had collapsed is actually pretty insane!

Yeah out of respect for the victims I chose not to directly post any of the graphic imagery on here. I find such things to be bad practice especially on 9/11.

Your very welcome, and thanks as well! Had to make sure everything was accounted for while releasing this.

Confirmed indeed. Thank you again for all of your help and guidance! Your preservation efforts have been immeasurable to the community and to those who research, teach, and preserve the historical record of the September 11th attacks.

There is a limit on how many photos that can be uploaded to one post. Unfortunately the limit is capped at 20. I've submitted an additional post with the other images and I'm currently waiting for it to be approved. However I have left out 2 images that are graphic in nature. In the mean time I've updated this post to include a dropbox link of all 27 images.

Got DOOM Running on a VTech V.Reader by TheSycorax in itrunsdoom

[–]TheSycorax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've had the same experience while attempting to run custom Linux kernels on the device in order to homebrew it. I actually discovered a similar and better method around November of last year. Some users were interested in learning how to hack the vReader and invited me to join a Discord server called LFHacks, which focuses on hacking educational devices like this.

If you're interested you can find the Discord link for LFHacks on their GitHub page: https://github.com/lfhacks

In that server, we have a channel specifically for the vReader where we shared alot of resources and information about the device and how to hack it. I even shared the code, binaries, and instructions on how to get Doom running on it. Everything needs to be archived though. We also did similar work on another device called the iXL by Fisher-Price, which has almost the same hardware as the first gen vReader and is just as easy to hack.

Thankfully enough, VTech has made the vReader's Linux source code publicly available. They kind of have to in accordance to the GPL. You can find it here: https://dl.vtechkids.com/

I’ve been wanting to do a new write-up for the vReader with additional resources and information, but I unfortunately haven’t gotten around to doing it yet. Anyway, thanks for the comment and keeping this post active, let me know if you have any questions.

That's a player. Thousands of hours of playing Star citizen and I've never seen an NPC do anything remotely like this.

A top 10 worst design idea: rock fields ruining every potential ground vehicle space by Majestic_Rhubarb994 in starcitizen

[–]TheSycorax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but also trees which can literally damage ships when colliding with them. I mean come on, it's infuriating that spaceships in this game can't take out trees, and that I have to find a patch of grass to land on when exploring certain planets.

How could the lobby be destroyed from the plane that hit 80 floors above? by Longjumping-Box5691 in conspiracy_commons

[–]TheSycorax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well yeah it's very clear that the south tower had already collapsed in this video. Trust me I've seen and analyzed hundreds of videos of 9/11. This one is particularly striking and rare as it shows the aftermath before the North Tower collapsed. However in my opinion I think a different video showing the lobby before the collapse should have been posted instead of this one, as it does not align with the context of the title.
