    This sounds like a Bill Cosby stand up comment, circa 1978: “If you boys don’t get to bed right this minute, I’m going to slap the color right out of you!”

    Well - they haven’t bombed them back to the Stone Age, but at least back to the 30s when the world was all black and white.

    It’s a shame that my thought is that of course they did that on purpose - everything looks worse in the B+W version, even the non-bombed buildings. Thank you NYT (and others) for being such krep journalists you’ve cast a pall on your entire profession. Way to go, guys!

    You know, it could be massive concrete dust plumes settling on everything.

    What did Manhattan look like from air on September 13th?
