The Collapse - Part 5

World Trade Center Complex, Downtown Manhattan September 11, 2001

ON THE WAY OUT OF MANHATTAN - LIKE REFUGEES

The ABC network setting up shop as close as they can (about 7 blocks from Ground Zero)	Yet another Live coverage starts.
Interview with some of the survivors.	An MTA bus carrying more survivors out of the city.
'The New York Times' vending machine. Not many of the Sep 11, 2001 copies were sold that day!	Smoke rising from Ground Zero where the buildings stood majestically overlooking the Hudson River only hours before. The terrorists used the Hudson River to find the target. They had switched off the navigational instruments aboard the planes to avoid detection.
Photo from the Brooklyn Bridge. Brooklyn Bridge on the Manhattan side begins here.	Another view from the Brooklyn Bridge.
A mute witness to the entire episode. The Sun hiding behind the black smoke.	Photo taken from the Brooklyn Bridge. On the left is the southeastern side of Manhattan.
Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge.. The fire is still burning (as on Oct 11, 2001).	Now I know what goes through the mind of refugees when they flee. I think most of the people who walked out of Manhattan that day through the Brooklyn Bridge also felt the same way.
The thin yellow police line marks the beginning of Brooklyn. Borders (and attitudes), how insignificant they might be, change when a war is going on.	A view from the Smith Subway station.
One of the several Subway stations where commuters could see the WTC towers every day as they traveled to and from work.	What has happened hit most of the people in instances like this.. They got away from the carnage and when they got some breathing space, some time to think as to what happened, it hit them like a ton of bricks. And they all cried. Some silently and discreetly, some openly.
Mexicans, Pakistanis, Italians, we all cried. Cried together. We didn't have the time to think about the color of our skin or the God we believe in. This was not a war against America, but against all of us, human beings.
