As I tried to get through the police barricades on Church Street, suddenly
the first tower began to implode. People screamed and ran �?some straight into me.
All around you could see the smoke, hear the sirens.
Lower Manhattan had disappeared behind a black veil of smoke.
The destruction was total. It hadn't stopped at the last thirty floors,
or the last ten. There was only this shell. You couldn't believe your eyes.
PRAYERS FOR THOSE LOST AND THEIR FAMILIES
