Among the most eloquent and unsettling of the countless photographs from September 11, 2011, are those focusing not on the fall of the towers, or the jagged, smoking hole in the Pentagon, but on faces.

Here, LIFE.com presents a gallery focusing on witnesses to terror as they confront the unspeakable.
