During the 9/11 attacks, Star-Ledger photographer Aristide Economopoulos escaped the collapse of the north tower and made many compelling images. He recently returned to the same locations and took pictures from the same perspectives, highlighting the chaos, destruction and change. The before and after images are combined; to see just before or after, drag the slider on the image to the left or right or click the arrows at bottom right of the image.
