Give us 22 minutes. We'll give you the world.
Good morning. 64 degrees.
It is Tuesday and here's what's happening.
It's primary day and the polls are officially open in New York City.

Did you see Jeter's homer on Saturday? Guy's got some swing, man.
Yeah, I was there.
Yeah? It was a good one to have been at.
It was.
...part of the ongoing slump in corporate earnings.

Over New York City
Is there anybody else that we could call?
Anybody?

All right.
-Hey, Willy. -Yeah.
I like those shorts. They're real sharp, you know.
-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.
-12 bucks at Target. Yeah. -Yeah?
Do they make them for men, too?
I'm not the one who puts a gallon of pomade in my hair, Pezzulo.
Attention.

Zoey Cowley.
Age 11, runaway out of Rhode Island.
Thought to be on a bus coming in this morning.
This is important. Okay.
As always, protect yourselves. Watch each other's backs.
Hear about who Giraldi brought in yesterday?
No, who?
I'll give you one guess.
She's 300 pounds, her dress is a trash bag with bugs all over it.
Gloria, the "Naked Lady"?
Yeah, and Giraldi said she asked for you.
You love it, huh?
-I'll catch you at break. -Yeah.
Hey, Jethro. Jethro.
Hey, how many times I gotta tell you?
You got to take your crew and your junk out to Ninth.
It's a free country, man.
-This is my statue. -What are you, the statue police?
It's the Jackie Gleason statue. It's not a bench.
He don't care. He's dead, man.
Get out of here. Get out of here.
Excuse me.
I wonder if I might help you out today with, like, a taxi or get you a hotel?
Maybe I can help you out with your bag, you know.
Hello, Officer? Where find bus center?
Hey, Amoroso.
-How you doing? -How's it going, man?
To be honest, I miss the bus terminal.
-Yeah, what do you got today? -Loading docks.
Loading docks? That shipment come in from...
What the...
BT, all units. 8-40. 8-40, ASAP.
BT, all units. 8-40, ASAP.
All units, BT 8-40. 8-40, ASAP.
Excuse me.
Hey, something's up.
We have unconfirmed reports this morning
that a plane has crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center.
-CNN Center right now... -Holy shit.
...work on this story, calling our sources
and trying to figure out exactly what happened, but, clearly,
something relatively devastating happening this morning there.
We're going to join another one of our New York affiliates
for their live coverage.
Here at the top of this tower, there's a huge, gaping hole, flames still inside.
Can you believe this?
What schmuck would fly a plane into the Trade Center?
Maybe they ran out of gas or something.
Yeah, Colovito. Right.
Maybe some jerk-off forgot which lever to pull on his twin-engine.
That's not a small plane.
Hell, no.
All right, listen up!
Let me have your attention here!
They're telling us it's a commuter plane.
Tower One is being evacuated as a precaution.
They've asked us to send a team down to assist.
Sergeant McLoughlin.
I've got a list of names here.
Step out when you hear it. We're going downtown.
-Polnicki. -Sarge.
-Colovito. -Sarge.
-Washington. -Sarge.
-O'Reilly. -Sarge.
-Jimeno. -Sarge.
-Hogart. -Sarge.
-Bavli. -Sarge.
-Rodrigues. -Sarge.
-Giraldi. -Sarge.
-Pezzulo. -Sarge.
Stolzman.
Hold it right there! Pull it over!
Command post on the air? Command post.
Field command post. Are there any injuries going to any particular hospital?
Chief on the air. Go ahead.
Come on, everybody. Off the bus. Get off the bus. Step this way.
I'm gonna cut across Bleecker to Seventh. Stay close.
You got it.
Central. Mobilization point is gonna be Pike and South.
That was to evacuate One Police Plaza
at the Gracie Mansion, the Municipal Building, and any potential targets.
Who is advising this?
Central units, the mobilization point is now South and Pike.
Yeah. No, no, I got it.
Hey, guys, you won't believe this!
My wife says the other one got hit, the other tower.
How the hell did the other tower get hit?
She was listening to HOT 97 and they said it.
What? Who gets their news from HOT 97?
-I told you it was no damn private plane. -No, I got it.
What special equipment we got down there?
-What? -We're prepared for everything.
Car bombs, chemical, biological, an attack from the top.
But not this. Not for something this size.
There's no plan. We didn't make it.
Only emergency transmissions on this frequency.
All right, all emergency personnel
respond to Vesey and West.
All emergency service units, please go to Vesey and West.
There could be 50, 60,000 people in there.
Units on West Street to use caution.
Debris is falling from the building on West Street.
Hey! Looks like Tower Two did take a hit.
What did I tell you?
No, no, that's the smoke blowing over from Tower One.
All right, that's enough. Everybody sit down. Now!
Yo, Dom, let me see your phone for a sec, yeah?
Hey, let me see your phone. I got to call Allison.
It's not working!
Nothing's going through.
Emergency service vehicles are also responding.
Hey, take it easy, will you? Jesus!
-This is gonna be a bitch. -Relax.
Well, I'm just saying that it looks like it's gonna...
You think they're bringing you down there to scratch your ass?
McLoughlin will tell you what to do.
Why the Sarge?
He was Emergency Services at the Trade Tower.
He's one of the guys who came up with a plan after the attack in '93.
Anybody knows what to do down there, it's him.
Command to Division One.
Does anyone over in Tower One hear me?
Okay, make the turn on Broadway.
Go down West Broadway. We'll meet you outside Five.
You got it.
Send everything you got to the World Trade Center now.
We got to get that building evacuated!
Which tower? Which tower are we responding to?
-I got to get a team to go up! -I'll check in with headquarters.
Roll every available ambulance you got to this position.
Fire out on the north side.
They're now coming out of the west side
of the World Trade Center.
All right, everybody stay here. I'm gonna find out what the hell's going on.
Yes, sir.
Oh, my God.
Nothing's gonna help them.
No, we'll get up there.
How are you gonna save people that high up? It's impossible.
We got to try.
Sarge!
Officer? Officer?
The daycare center. There's kids there. Over there.
Hey, Sarge! There's kids in the...
Yeah, at the daycare at Five. I know, they got them out.
-Okay, listen up. Where's Kassimatis? -He's looking for you, Sarge.
We got to evacuate the Tower.
Who knows how to use a Scott Pak? And don't give me any PBA bullshit.
Hey, Sarge, to tell you the truth, I haven't used one in like four years.
Look, what did I just say?
Who's coming?
Step forward.
I got it, Sarge.
I'll go.
I'm with you, Sarge.
All right.
All right, we got a team.
We're headed into Building Five. The rest of you wait for Kassimatis.
Follow me. Stay together.
-Jimeno. -Sarge.
Take everyone's memo books, nightsticks, hats. They're useless here.
Put them in the Suburban. It's over on Church and Vesey.
And meet us back at the police desk in the lobby of Five. You got it?
Which one's Five?
There's two towers.
North tower is One. South tower is Two.
Right behind it, there's Five, right in front of us,
which is where the police desk is.
Take the alley. Hurry up. Hey!
Let's go.
They're all dying!
Grab those bottles.
Get the helmets.
People trapped at 87th and 89th floors.
10-4. They're getting a TVpicture with numerous injuries.
Numerous injuries out there.
Okay, turn them on. Double check. Test them.
Massi? Anything more here? Helmets? Scott Paks?
No, Sarge. Try the E room near the truck docks in the basement.
Jimmy Lynch is down there.
Thanks.
Okay, there's more stuff down on B-1, the truck docks.
We'll drop down to the Concourse, go around One to Two,
and there's some stairs there.
Keep your eyes open. Follow me. Don't get separated, okay?
Well, Sarge, we got plenty here.
Hundred and ten floors. Fire with fuel.
We're gonna be using up bottles. We need them.
Sarge, you won't believe this.
Your Suburban on Church? It's gone. Roof smashed in.
Stay together and stay focused.
-Yo, Dom, where we going? -Sarge wants more stuff.
-What? -Don't worry about it.
He knows what he's doing.
What the...
Don't think. Keep moving.
Jesus, Sarge, we got to get up there.
You aren't rescuing anybody if you can't breathe, Rodrigues.
Stay focused.
This way.
Where's the fire?
Now you're talking. Got the BT dogs up in here.
What's up, Sarge? Sarge, I'm telling you we got to get up.
There's a ton of people stuck up there.
-We're going up. -Yeah? I gotta go with you.
-Sure, Chris. We can use you. -Yeah?
We need more equipment. Get a tank on.
A-Rod!
Yo, what's up, Chris?
Yo, what happened to your eye, man? What happened to your eye?
I was carrying this woman out,
something whacked me in the freaking head.
-She okay? -Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got her clear.
Hey, hey, Sarge, we ain't gonna find any equipment left in One.
-Coming through. Coming through. -Excuse us. Thanks a lot.
Lynch has got gear down at the B-1 truck docks next to Two.
There's a staircase right over there at Ben & Jerry's.
I heard they were evacuating Two, Sarge.
Must have caught fire from One.
I heard Two got hit, that there was a second plane.
No, Fields just said one plane, Tower One. Now, stay together.
You see the TV? There's a big fire up there.
There ain't no TVs down here.
You guys hear about the Pentagon? It got hit. A missile or something.
Israel? It's gone. It's nuked.
Whole freaking world's coming to an end today, Willy.
-Yo, Chris. -Yeah.
-Nice timing on that transfer. -Yeah, no kidding, right?
-Jimeno? -Yeah.
You stay with the cart.
The rest of you, come with me.
Stay safe.
We're receiving... On the 106th floor...
People are trapped at that location.
About five floors from the top,
there's at least 50 people hanging on.
Hey.
Reynolds.
Bridge.
Jimeno. Bus terminal.
-You all right? -Yeah. You helping evacuate?
Trying. Going up Two. You?
Up One. I'm waiting for my sarge.
Yeah. Well, it's gonna be a long day.
You'll be all right, kid. A lot of good people here.
Units, also be advised
that people are trapped on that 60th floor.
Sixtieth floor, people are trapped up there.
Stuck in the elevator,
the elevator shaft, and we're chopping through the wall to get out.
Okay, we got enough.
Tower One.
Let's go. Stay together.
Okay, 10th floor.
We've knocked out that fire. We're in the B stairs. We'll meet you over there.
Let me know what kind of conditions you got.
Lieutenant?
I was down on B-1. The shafts there are buckling.
There's gonna be people trapped in those elevators.
Jeez.
It just took us an hour to get up to 30 in Tower One.
Now they want us over in Two.
-What happened in Two? -I don't know.
-You guys be careful, okay? -Yeah, stay safe.
Hey, Will. Let me get that.
Thanks, man.
8-1, McLoughlin. What's your location?
This is 8-1. We're in the Concourse. We got gear and are heading to One.
8-1, 800, negative that.
Rendezvous with me out on Barclay Street. I got a team here.
We'll all go up together.
8-1, is something going on with Tower Two?
Run!
The elevator shaft!
Anybody there?
Anyone there?
My legs!
Sound off!
Pezzulo!
Jimeno!
Rodrigues!
Chris!
Antonio.
Chris!
A-Rod!
Antonio!
They're gone.
They're in a better place, really.
All right.
What's everyone's situation?
I'm pinned. Bad.
I can't...
I can't move my legs.
I think I'm okay.
How you doing, Sarge?
I don't think I'm hurt, but I can't move.
I got some movement here.
8-13!
PAPD!
Officers Jimeno, Pezzulo
and McLoughlin are down.
We're trapped on the Concourse level
between Towers One and Two.
We're trapped near freight elevator Five.
-Oh, thank God. -It goes down to the B-1 truck dock.
Yeah, here you go. Get some air.
Get some air. Some fresh air.
You're okay, Willy. You're okay.
Got any radio?
Here you go.
No, mine's smashed. It's not working.
All my stuff on the left side is buried. The mike's gone.
You got to get this... You got to get this off of me.
It's good to see you, Dom.
Good to see you, Willy.
-You okay? You good? -Yeah, I'm good.
I'm going to get you out. Don't worry about it.
I'm gonna get you out, Willy.
It's working, Sarge!
Dom's got us covered!
Good. That's good.
How'd you know to run in here, Sarge?
The elevator shaft's the strongest part of the building.
Oh, Jesus.
How did this happen, Willy?
I'm gonna take care of you.
I'm gonna get you out, buddy.
Looks like there's light! Maybe some air!
I'd say about 20 feet up!
Hey!
8-13!
Officers down!
Hey!
-You ready? -Come on.
Come on, Dom!
Oh, Jesus.
I can't get this off him by myself, Sarge.
Maybe I should go up and get some help and then come back for you guys.
No! No! You're gonna get him out!
You're gonna get him out!
All right.
Here we go, Willy.
Come on!
I can't get you out, Willy.
Come on, Dom.
Don't leave us here.
Do me a favor.
You can do it. I know you can do it.
All right.
I'm going to get you out, Willy. All right?
I'll get you out. Yeah, I'll get you out. All right.
Dom?
I'm hurt.
Dom, it's me, Willy.
Look at me.
Stay awake.
Can I get a 3-8, Sarge?
Yeah, Dom. You take a break.
I'm dying, Willy.
No. No, you're not. Dom, stop this.
Don't forget I really tried to save you guys.
I love you, Willy.
I love you, too, Dom.
Dom's gone.
Dom's gone!
I know.
Jimeno,
can you still see the light?
Yeah.
Yeah!
How far up?
I don't know. Maybe 20 feet up. There's still stuff in the way.
What else do you see?
Beams. Plaster. Nothing.
It is with deep sadness and regret
that I have to advise you that two hijacked planes
have crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center...
...from what remains of the World Trade Center for 9:00.
One airplane crashed into World Trade Center Two.
About 15 minutes later, an airplane crashed into the second one.
About an hour later, both of them collapsed.
Associated Press is reporting that a plane or helicopter
crashed at the Pentagon, and the Pentagon is being evacuated.
Whether that fire is in the building itself or outside, we have not yet confirmed.
This is a live picture of the Pentagon
and an Associated Press reporter says he could see the tail of a large airliner
as it plowed into the Pentagon.
And that fire there in Washington continues to burn.
Bastards!
...just a few minutes after that, it wasn't very long,
you will see, it happened again. The second tower came tumbling down.
That was the first tower collapse that we just saw.
This is the collapse of the second tower.
And so now, as we stand here, both towers...
The tops of both towers are gone.
Allison, let's sit outside.
Behind somewhere that plume of smoke that continues to rise over the...
He's probably still at the bus terminal.
What is left of those buildings, we cannot tell you.
We cannot tell you.
-Allison. -Jerry.
Al, I'm looking at the Tunnel.
There's no one there.
No Port Authorities there.
Al, I don't...
I guess they got called in.
Can you get someone to drive you?
-Allison? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, I'll see you at home in half an hour.
I'll call Mom and Dad.
Okay.
We got to pick up Bianca.
Both towers came down, trapping thousands
and thousands of people inside.
We do not know the numbers yet,
but we do know thousands of people work inside those buildings.
That... The buildings are gone.
There are reports that hundreds and hundreds
of fire and police and rescue crews
are missing or unaccounted for.
Officials seem simply stunned by the scale of the losses...
They keep showing the same thing over and over and over.
Jay's there.
They must have called in every company in the city.
He would have been there early.
Yeah, John, too, probably.
He knows those buildings so well.
They've seen something no one has ever seen before.
One man who came by said
he had seen this building come down.
It looked as though it was imploding.
This was complete chaos and utter hell that has come to Lower Manhattan.
Oh, my God.
Judy. Listen to me. Listen to me. Look.
They evacuated those buildings. All right?
I'm sure most everybody got out. They're fine.
In the '93 attack, John said everybody got out real quick.
God. In '93, the buildings didn't fall down.
All right, well, I'm going to call everybody and cancel.
A Den Mothers meeting right now sounds pretty dumb, right?
I keep looking for John.
There's so many policemen running around.
Maybe I'll see him.
-Judy. -Yeah?
Judy...
-They're here to tell us they're dead. -No.
No, they're not. They're not.
-Hey, Judy. Jay... -No. No.
Look, we know he's alive. All right?
They know where he is. They're communicating with him.
He's alive?
Yes. Yeah, we're gonna go down there now and help out.
-Oh, thank God. -Yes!
There you go.
-Thank God. Oh, my God. -There you go.
Oh, that's good.
-That's good. -Thank you, God.
PAPD.
8-13.
Officers Jimeno and McLoughlin.
We're trapped near the FE Five vestibule.
Will you please work?
I'm so thirsty.
You're not kidding.
My mouth feels like a beach.
-How's your pain? -Comes in waves.
Every 20, 30 minutes.
Every wave, I feel the pain less.
But I'm more numb.
The number I get the more I want to sleep.
What's wrong with sleep?
I wish I could so this pain would go away.
You're bleeding inside, Will.
You sleep, you don't know if you're coming back.
Awake, at least you got a shot.
Your brain, maybe, keeps you alive.
That's what I think, anyway.
You know that movie, G.I. Jane?
What's-her-name?
-Yeah, Demi Moore. -Yeah.
You know the part where the drill sergeant says,
"Pain is good. Pain is your friend. If you're feeling pain you're still alive"?
I didn't see the movie.
I keep thinking of that line.
Pain is your friend.
It means you're alive.
We'll make it, Will.
Just don't go to sleep.
Sarge, I got a fire here!
Sarge!
There's nothing I can do here!
Sarge!
I'm burning! I'm burning!
Please God.
Where'd that wind come from all of a sudden, Sarge?
I don't know.
The fire just goes out like that, Sarge?
Why's that?
I don't know.
You're not a big talker, are you?
No.
Well, see, you got to talk to me 'cause...
I can't, 'cause my knees are crushed together!
That's why I can't fucking talk!
Oh, God!
Oh, God. Oh, God.
Holy shit!
Dom's gun is cooking off!
Will!
Will! Will, that's it! All the rounds got to be done, Will.
I can't believe this is happening!
-Not in my whole goddamn life! -Breathe, Will.
Come on, breathe.
Get your mind right!
Mrs. Jimeno, please hold.
...Pennsylvania. This is where the United Airlines flight,
I believe it is 176...
I'm sorry, I'm correcting... United Airlines 93...
I'm sorry, Mrs. Jimeno, we can't make that kind of assessment yet.
-We just... -Is that Allison Jimeno?
We grew up together. Let me talk to her.
Al, it's Brian. I just got in.
-Hi, Brian. -Allison,
listen, they sent Will down on a bus with a bunch of the guys.
-So he did go down there? -Yeah.
And did he go in the buildings?
We don't know.
Brian, did he go in the buildings or did he not go in the buildings?
We're trying to find that out.
It's very basic. Did he go in or did he not go in?
Allison, I'll call you as soon as we know.
Bianca? Sweetie, I'm sorry.
Brian, I... Brian, why don't you tell me what's going on?
-I'll take Bianca to my place. -No.
-I'll keep her here. I wanna... -My parents are there.
They'll take care of her. Okay? She'll be five houses away.
Want to go play?
...shards of metal coming past...
Brian?
President Bush was in Florida when the attacks began.
He spoke a short time ago from an Air Force base in Louisiana.
Here's some of what the President said.
The resolve of our great nation is being tested.
But make no mistake, we will show the world that we will pass this test.
God bless.
We're told the President's plane has flown on,
but for security reasons,
the government will not say where Mr. Bush is going or for how long.
I don't know if you guys know it yet, but this country's at war.
Pastor, I gotta go down there.
-Where? -New York.
You can't. Only emergency responders are being allowed in.
I've spent my best years with the Marines.
God gave me a gift to be able to help people,
to defend our country.
And I feel him calling on me now for this mission.
Then find a way to listen, Dave.
I'll leave that to you to determine just how widespread
the human loss will be in New York City alone.
America has changed today. This is a dark day in this country.
It's in bold print in future history books
about how America was attacked within its continental borders
to devastating effect by terrorists
in a coordinated assault using hijacked civilian airliners.
-Hey, Mom? -Yes, sweetie.
Dad knows it's my birthday party Saturday, right?
Your birthday, are you crazy? Of course he does.
He's just...
He's still working to help people at the disaster at the Trade Center.
But they keep saying a lot of those people aren't coming back.
I'm not supposed to tell you this, okay?
But he told me that he was gonna take you to the playoffs next month.
-The playoffs? Are you serious? -I'm serious.
Yes! The Yankee playoffs? I knew it. I knew he was going to.
Mom, you better come here.
Stay here, okay?
What's wrong?
Dad and Uncle Pat have a deal.
If anything happens to one of them, they go and tell the other family.
Are you here to tell me something?
Don't come in here, Pat. I mean it. Don't you come into this house.
Donna, he's not.
We don't know. We don't know.
They've declared him as missing, that's all. He's just missing.
I know. I know. I'm with you. Come here.
I know.
We got confirmation. John went in.
Oh, Dad.
It's okay, baby.
It's okay. It's gonna be okay.
Hey. Hey.
Will's a tough nut. He's gonna make it.
-I know it, honey. -Dad.
-I just know it. Come on. -Dad.
-Your mom's out there.
-I'll clean you up. -Dad.
What?
How...
How would I tell Bianca her father's dead?
Missing means missing, Ma. It doesn't mean dead.
She's very strong. She's gonna be all right.
-Jer. -Yeah.
We've got to call a doctor. Give her something fast.
-Why? -She could lose it.
What is happening to this world?
...of this horrible and vicious act of terrorism, acts of terrorism.
And our focus now has to be on saving as many lives as possible.
Do we know the number of casualties at this point?
I don't think we really want to speculate about that.
The number of casualties will be more than any of us can bear, ultimately.
Sounded like a truck bomb.
Like in '93.
Blasted out the lobby. Pushed everything in here.
Concourse must have collapsed.
You never answered, Sarge.
What have we got?
How long does this internal bleeding take?
I don't know. I'm not a doctor.
Twenty-four hours is the most I've heard of. Maybe 14,
16.
Just don't sleep.
So we've been in six, seven hours. What does that mean?
Another seven, eight hours from now?
You remember that earthquake? Where was it? Turkey?
There was a little girl there.
She lived four days buried in the rubble like this.
