People in front of New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral react with horror as they look down Fifth Ave. at the World Trade Center.

What the nation saw, on TV and on the streets, were images too frightening to bear -- and too compelling to look away.

Destruction of the World Trade Center: A slideshow of images compiled by DallasNews.com shows the Manhattan tragedy unfolding, from the initial explosions to the shock of eyewitnesses as the landmark office towers collapsed.

Video shows different angles of the collapse of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan following two separate airliner crashes into the twin towers.
