A changing face of the War on Terror:

In the morning of Sep 11 2001 World Trade Center in New York was attacked in an act of terrorism.  Hijacking commercial airlines Middle East terrorists launched the largest, and first, attack  on the United State since the Japanese Pearl Harbour assault in 1941. Almost 3000 innocent people died as the world saw the Twin Towers crumble on live television.
Per Fronth lived and worked as an artist in Tribeca and experienced the terrorism first hand as his own neighbourhood became a war zone.  He photographed the unfolding events of this historic days.
