An anonymous photographer took these

An anonymous photographer took these incredible shots of ground zero, until he was stopped by an NYPD officer who asked to see his authorization to shoot. The photog didn’t have one, but the cop’s supervisor said it was OK. The cop erased all the pictures from the digital camera’s flash-card anyway. Lucky for the photog, he was able to restore them using a file-recovery tool. Link Discuss (via Electrolite)
