I Witnessed History

The day the Twin Towers fell

Telegraph photographer Heathcliff O'Malley was in New York the day two planes flew into the World Trade Centre in downtown Manhattan. A seismic event that reshaped the global response to terrorism, security, privacy and immigration. Heathcliff tells us how it really unfolded, from the dust, noise and chaos, to a quietly haunting moment with a woman searching for her father.Watch Heathcliff talk about that day in a video version of this podcast: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz2ERtBGcC8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz2ERtBGcC8</a>|For 30 days’ free access to The Telegraph: <a href="https://telegraph.co.uk/audio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://telegraph.co.uk/audio</a>|See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
