The events that followed have been well documented in the media, but words can never describe the horrific scenes. We kept moving toward the water when we heard the rumbling from the middle of the South Tower. Sensing all 110 stories would collapse on us, we began to run.
The events that followed have been well documented in the media, but words can never describe the horrific scenes. We kept moving toward the water when we heard the rumbling from the middle of the South Tower. Sensing all 110 stories would collapse on us, we began to run.
As it turned out, the building was imploding, not toppling. However, a giant wall of grayish smoke was moving down the canyons of Manhattan toward us, and we feared a firestorm of flying debris.
The cloud enveloped us with choking smoke for what seemed like an eternity. I pulled my shirt over my head to breathe as we made our way to Battery Park. Shortly after we reached the park, the other tower imploded.

"They asked what it's like not having his body. There's nothing left of him; there's nothing left to bury. It's just not a way to go. I know they've found body parts,"

Then a doctor, covered in soot, burst into the hospital. He said that everyone had been vaporized. I thought, How do I tell my mother that my sister has been vaporized?
Karin Batten
and all the kids told me they saw the plane coming by their classroom and hitting the tower and they saw people jumping from the building.

At this point I was still under the impression that this was an accident and after watching and filming this other plane make a U turn and head back towards the towers nothing in the world could have prepared me for what would happen next.“
