The impact left a gaping, burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors. As the evacuation of the tower and its twin got underway, television cameras broadcasted live images of what initially appeared to be a freak accident.

We watched in disbelief as shards of glass and paper rained down on the streets below. A Sea of Refugees As we approached New York Harbor, the captain announced that no one would be allowed off the boat.
