Documentaries who bought a collection of CD-ROMs sold in a house were found on 2,400 photographs taken at the site of the September 11 attacks in New York, Ground Zero"Following the attacks on that day.

The photos, taken by an unidentified construction worker, seemed to help lift the ruins of the World Trade Center towers and the surrounding area.

The discs were in bad condition, but were processed and retrieved from them.

Documentation specialists carried pictures at Flickr.

Digital albums include photographs of the location of the attacks from the ground and above, showing construction workers busy with their work and the destruction of buildings near the World Trade Center towers.

The September attacks, in which suicide bombers used civilian planes to hit targets in New York and Washington, and one in Pennsylvania, killed nearly 3,000 people.

"People usually ignore such items in liquidation sales, and they were likely to find their way into the garbage if we were not there in time," says Dr. Jonathan Bergis, a documentation specialist. It was fellow Bergis, Jason Scott, who attended the sale.

"It was a miracle that we were able to recover the contents of these disks. The CDs produced in that period were not of high quality," Bergis said.

The documentary turned to a company that specializes in retrieving information from CDs to save some of the images.

Bergis says Scott and Scott have so far failed to track down the photographer who took the photos or any of his relatives.

It is noteworthy that many of those who participated in the rescue operations in the period immediately after the attacks were infected with various diseases. Some 400,000 residents and visitors of the area are believed to have been exposed to toxic substances or were injured and damaged in the attacks, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States.

Dr Berjis said the publication of these images was "a work in the interest of humanity" and said those who influence them should donate to any charity they choose.
