Jedenfalls dauerte es nicht lange, bis Rob Sheridan Trump von dem Foto freistellte und er das PNG auf Twitter zur Verfügung stellte.

It just so happened that I've been doing Photoshop masking all morning for a project, so when I saw this photo I knew what I had to do. Here's a PNG with a transparent background, please do your absolute worst: https://t.co/lCKdwD0PrI pic.twitter.com/lZmsoHtTE9

Visible from space, a smoke plume rises from the Manhattan area after two planes crashed into the towers of the World Trade Center. This photo was taken of metropolitan New York City (and other parts of New York as well as New Jersey) the morning of September 11, 2001. „Our prayers and thoughts go out to all the people there, and everywhere else,“ said Station Commander Frank Culbertson of Expedition 3, after the terrorists‘ attacks.

The following day, he posted a public letter that captured his initial thoughts of the events as they unfolded. „The world changed today. What I say or do is very minor compared to the significance of what happened to our country today when it was attacked.“

Upon further reflection, Culbertson said, „It’s horrible to see smoke pouring from wounds in your own country from such a fantastic vantage point. The dichotomy of being on a spacecraft dedicated to improving life on the earth and watching life being destroyed by such willful, terrible acts is jolting to the psyche, no matter who you are.“
