Few stories in AP's 160 year history have more severely tested
the skill, courage, ingenuity and resilience of the entire organization.
The attacks of Sept. 11 were more than a professional challenge.
The news literally exploded within sight of AP's New York headquarters
and of our Washington bureau driving some staff members from
their homes and threatening the personal safety of many others,
especially those who raced to cover the unfolding disasters
in lower Manhattan and at the Pentagon.
Shortly before the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks,
several AP photographers and videographers captured images of
the same sites taken in June 2006.
