Less than five minutes later, Gigi’s brother, Dan Daniels, called from Texas to ask what was going on up in New York. We had no idea what he was talking about, but turned the television back on just in time to see the second plane hit the Twin Towers. Immediately I picked up a camera and headed downtown. Both Towers had fallen, and the area was cordoned off by the time I got there, but I walked across the Manhattan Bridge and took the photograph of the Brooklyn Bridge with the burning Towers in the background. People were walking silently across the bridges as the world watched in horror. The next day the press passes that were allowed behind the barriers were shocking pink, and I remember I had one the same color that was 10 years old. Instead of standing in line for hours to get a new press pass, I just turned mine over so the year didn’t show and used it. I would probably have been arrested if anyone had looked very closely at the date. I happened upon Ammo, a German Shepherd, who was searching for bodies in the rubble. The dog was exhausted and collapsed in front of me. His trainer carried him into a portable First Aid Station where Ammo was given glucose and allowed to rest until he was ready to begin again. The weary firemen and policemen were the extraordinary heroes of the day working around the clock as they tried desperately to find survivors and put out the fire on the rubble where the beautiful World Trade Towers had stood. I asked a group of them what to do if a fire breaks out. In unison about eight answered, “Run.”」9月12日 2時49分
