[These are quotes taken from a New York Magazine article around 10 years ago. They are all from firefighters] "doing funerals....getting the bunting, hanging the bunting...step by step... When it became a myth, the whole event... people were terrified, crapping their pants...a woman in the lobby...no legs...her face...like someone took it off with a saw. Why did I survive? ...None of 'em were ever found. Not even a tool. I didn't see victims. They were dust... When the wind blew, you couldn't grab them. long spears of glass...Huge panels turned into shards...a piece of window, a small piece....It's right here in my hands now. ...can't look at a plane landing"
