Beautiful rainbow captured at the site of the World Trade Centre the day before September 11 anniversary

Spooky...

September 11th, 2001 is a day that still haunts humanity.

You always remember where you were – that exact moment you saw the planes hit the World Trade Centre towers.

The sickening feeling, the confusion, the anger and sheer horror – it’s a day that changed the complexion of the whole world irreparably.

Every year Americans, and indeed citizens of the world, mark the anniversary of 9/11 to remember the 2,977 people killed that day.

But as people in the US were gearing up to commemorate those who died in the atrocity 14 years on, something incredible happened.

A rainbow was spotted shining from the spot where the twin towers once stood in Lower Manhattan – Ben Sturner captured the moment from his balcony in Long Island.

It’s an incredible shot of the natural phenomenon.
