It's been 16 years since the horrific September 11th attacks that left 2,996 people dead and more than 6,000 others wounded in America.

To mark the harrowing anniversary, the Department of Defense has released dozens of astonishing and rare images showing the aftermath of the attack inside the Pentagon and at the World Trade Center.

They were hit by planes on that fateful morning during a series of coordinated attacks by al Qaeda hijackers.
