The US national archives just released more than 300 never-bef0re-seen photos of the Bush administration, taken just after the September 11, 2001 attacks. 
The photos — taken by the Vice Presidential photographer and released this week by the National Archives  — were released as part of a Freedom of Information Act request filed by documentary filmmaker Colette Neirouz Hanna.
The images show intimate photos of administration higher-ups like Vice President Dick Cheney, then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, and Secretary of State Colin Powell as the administration began developing its response to the attack.
The 9/11 Commission Report found that despite some early warning signs that al-Qaeda was planning a strike on US soil, few were able to predict the method of the attack.
This left the Bush administration scrambling to come up with a message for the nation as well as an appropriate military response. 
Here are some of the most interesting photos from the release:

Cheney watches television reports of the attacks on the World Trade Center. With conflicting reports about the number of hijacked planes, many Bush administration officials were tuned in to CNN for extra bits of information that hadn't filtered up to the White House yet. It wasn't initially clear to the administration or the Secret Service whether the crashes were deliberate.

There was a lot of conflict on 9/11 about whether Bush should return to Washington — some feared there could be another attack. Bush flew to several different locations before eventually returning to the White House to deliver an address.

Simultaneously, the Soviets seize  Iceland  in a covert surprise attack with the Soviet merchant ship  Julius Fucik  disguised as a  Lykes Lines  American  LASH ship , capturing the NATO air station at  Keflavík  and eliminating the  GIUK - SOSUS  line to allow the  Soviet Navy  to surge its submarines into the Atlantic Ocean without being detected. In addition, the Soviet Navy takes steps to protect its  ballistic missile submarine  fleet in coastal waters behind minefields and ASW assets, freeing up its attack submarines to engage and destroy NATO shipping. Thus, the Soviet Navy is able to act as an offensive weapon contrary to pre-war NATO expectations, becoming a major strategic threat against  resupply convoys coming from North America  with both aircraft and submarines. This advantage is put to immediate use as a NATO carrier battle ...
