One decade after 9/11, an unsettling number of images from Ground Zero and environs remain seared in our collective memory — unsurprising, perhaps, given the scope and scale of the destruction. But the fact that the deadliest, most visually arresting attacks occurred in New York City also meant that many of the world’s best photographers were, in effect, already on the scene when the terrorists struck.
Here, to mark the tenth anniversary of 9/11, and in hopes of lending coherence to our shared, turbulent recollections, LIFE.com presents the 25 most stirring, visceral photographs from that day, featuring pictures from the likes of James Nachtwey, Joe Raedle, Spencer Platt, Mario Tama, and other celebrated photojournalists (and one intrepid amateur).
These are the pictures we remember: wrenching, indelible photographs that tell the tale of a still-resonant late summer day that changed everything: 9.11: The 25 Most Powerful Photographs.

Some evenings I play this song on loop for an hour. Seriously.

There are, in fact, two different people in these photos.  Facebook’s photo uploader doesn’t believe me.

Does anybody else get as excited about Election Day as they do Christmas?  No?  Just me?  Ok.
Seriously, though. I’m excited.  I’ve been having dreams about it.  I hope it doesn’t turn out to be one of those nights where the returns come in SUPER slow.  That’s like Santa not coming until almost midnight Christmas Day.  Plus I have to get up early on Wednesday.
