Thuc Doan Nguyen-Brophy is a woman who filmed the numerous September 11, 2001 attacks, but only managed to watch the footage 25 years later. On the morning of that day, she was abruptly awakened by a strong impact that shook her residence.

The sound was so loud and seemed so close that she initially thought a delivery truck had crashed into her building. The building was on the corner of Canal and Essex Streets, in the Lower Manhattan area.

The images captured by her show the shock, confusion and horror witnessed in real time during the numerous terrorist attacks that occurred that day.

Suspects in assassination of Ecuadorian presidential candidate to be extradited to the US

Two Ecuadorian suspects — former police officer Daniel Salcedo and a former intelligence agent identified as R.P.H.R. — will be extradited to the United States for allegedly being involved in the assassination of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio, who was shot dead in August 2023 after leaving a campaign rally in Quito. The Attorney General's Office of Ecuador announced the decision, which is part of the investigation into the masterminds of the crime. Villavicencio was assassinated by a Colombian hitman one week before the early elections, and five people have already been sentenced to up to 34 years in prison for the crime.
