The image of a jumbo jet crashing into the WTC on September 11th is carved
in our cultural memory. Nevertheless, we have been familiarized with
similar images through blockbuster disaster movies in which national
monuments such as the WTC, the White House, the Statue of Liberty and the
Pentagon feature as terrorist targets. =91Wiretap 7.13: Urban Collisions: N=

York=92 analyses the visual representation of the attacks of September 11th
in New York from a cinematic, architectonic and cultural-symbolic point of
view.
