Choosing images of the twenty-first century

The World Trade Center attacks are the only concrete candidate offered for an otherwise unresolved selection of defining twenty-first-century images.

Question

Which images belong among the most important of the twenty-first century?

Short answer

The World Trade Center attacks are the only concrete candidate offered for an otherwise unresolved selection of defining twenty-first-century images.

Notes

The World Trade Center attacks are proposed as one of the events that defining images of the century would need to represent. The breadth of the question prevents an immediate wider list. No ranked or comprehensive selection is attempted.
