You got me.. Looks like a cool album cover though.

All I could make of it was a guess and that is that its more recent than it seems. I dont really know what NY looks like but is that the twin towers in the background? 9/11?

The Twin Towers under attack. One is collapsing, or has collapsed.

It's 9-11. Can't tell if taken from Jersey or Brooklyn.

It's 9/11 NYC - first tower coming down in the background... looks like it was taken from the Jersey-side of things..
