something relatively devastating happening this morning there.
Weīre going to join another one of our New York affiliates
for their live coverage.
Here at the top of this tower, thereīs 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.
Thatīs not a small plane.
Hell, no.
All right, listen up!
Let me have your attention here!
Theyīre telling us itīs a commuter plane.
Tower One is being evacuated as a precaution.

Howīd you know to run in here, Sarge?
The elevator shaftīs the strongest part of the building.
Oh, Jesus.
How did this happen, Willy?

Looks like thereīs light! Maybe some air!
līd say about 20 feet up!
Hey!
8-13!
Officers down!
Hey!
-You ready? -Come on.
Come on, Dom!
Oh, Jesus.
l canīt get this off him by myself, Sarge.
Maybe l should go up and get some help and then come back for you guys.
No! No! Youīre gonna get him out!
Youīre gonna get him out!
All right.
Here we go, Willy.
Come on!
l canīt get you out, Willy.

You can do it. l know you can do it.

Jimeno,
can you still see the light?
Yeah.
Yeah!
How far up?
l donīt know. Maybe 20 feet up. Thereīs still stuff in the way.
What else do you see?
Beams. Plaster. Nothing.
lt is with deep sadness and regret
that l 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 1 5 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 wasnīt 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, letīs sit outside.
Behind somewhere that plume of smoke that continues to rise over the...
Heīs probably still at the bus terminal.
What is left of those buildings, we cannot tell you.
We cannot tell you.
-Allison. -Jerry.
Al, līm looking at the Tunnel.
Thereīs no one there.
No Port Authorities there.
Al, l donīt...
l guess they got called in.
Can you get someone to drive you?
-Allison? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, līll see you at home in half an hour.
līll 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.
Jayīs 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.
Theyīve seen something no one has ever seen before.
One man who came by said
he had seen this building come down.
lt 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?
līm sure most everybody got out. Theyīre fine.
ln the ī93 attack, John said everybody got out real quick.
God. ln ī93, the buildings didnīt fall down.
All right, well, līm going to call everybody and cancel.
A Den Mothers meeting right now sounds pretty dumb, right?
l keep looking for John.
Thereīs so many policemen running around.
Maybe līll see him.
-Judy. -Yeah?
Judy...
-Theyīre here to tell us theyīre dead. -No.
No, theyīre not. Theyīre not.
-Hey, Judy. Jay... -No. No.
Look, we know heīs alive. All right?
They know where he is. Theyīre communicating with him.
Heīs alive?
Yes. Yeah, weīre gonna go down there now and help out.
-Oh, thank God. -Yes!
There you go.
-Thank God. Oh, my God. -There you go.
Oh, thatīs good.
-Thatīs good. -Thank you, God.
PAPD.
8-13.
Officers Jimeno and McLoughlin.
Weīre trapped near the FE Five vestibule.
Will you please work?
līm so thirsty.
Youīre not kidding.
My mouth feels like a beach.
-Howīs your pain? -Comes in waves.
Every 20, 30 minutes.
Every wave, l feel the pain less.
But līm more numb.
The number l get the more l want to sleep.
Whatīs wrong with sleep?
l wish l could so this pain would go away.
Youīre bleeding inside, Will.
You sleep, you donīt know if youīre coming back.
Awake, at least you got a shot.
Your brain, maybe, keeps you alive.
Thatīs what l think, anyway.
You know that movie, G.l. Jane?
Whatīs-her-name?
-Yeah, Demi Moore. -Yeah.
You know the part where the drill sergeant says,
īīPain is good. Pain is your friend. lf youīre feeling pain youīre still aliveīī?
l didnīt see the movie.
l keep thinking of that line.
Pain is your friend.
lt means youīre alive.
Weīll make it, Will.
Just donīt go to sleep.
Sarge, l got a fire here!
Sarge!
Thereīs nothing l can do here!
Sarge!
līm burning! līm burning!
Please God.
Whereīd that wind come from all of a sudden, Sarge?
l donīt know.
The fire just goes out like that, Sarge?
Whyīs that?
l donīt know.
Youīre not a big talker, are you?
No.
Well, see, you got to talk to me īcause...
l canīt, īcause my knees are crushed together!
Thatīs why l canīt fucking talk!
Oh, God!
Oh, God. Oh, God.
Holy shit!
Domīs gun is cooking off!
Will!
Will! Will, thatīs it! All the rounds got to be done, Will.
l canīt 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,
l believe it is 1 76...
līm sorry, līm correcting... United Airlines 93...
līm sorry, Mrs. Jimeno, we canīt make that kind of assessment yet.
-We just... -ls that Allison Jimeno?
We grew up together. Let me talk to her.
Al, itīs Brian. l 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 donīt know.
Brian, did he go in the buildings or did he not go in the buildings?
Weīre trying to find that out.
ltīs very basic. Did he go in or did he not go in?
Allison, līll call you as soon as we know.
Bianca? Sweetie, līm sorry.
Brian, l... Brian, why donīt you tell me whatīs going on?
-līll take Bianca to my place. -No.
-līll keep her here. l wanna... -My parents are there.
Theyīll take care of her. Okay? Sheīll 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.
Hereīs 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.
Weīre told the Presidentīs plane has flown on,
but for security reasons,
the government will not say where Mr. Bush is going or for how long.
l donīt know if you guys know it yet, but this countryīs at war.
Pastor, l gotta go down there.
-Where? -New York.
You canīt. Only emergency responders are being allowed in.
līve spent my best years with the Marines.
God gave me a gift to be able to help people,
to defend our country.
And l feel him calling on me now for this mission.
Then find a way to listen, Dave.
līll 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.
ltīs 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 itīs my birthday party Saturday, right?
Your birthday, are you cray? Of course he does.
Heīs just...
Heīs still working to help people at the disaster at the Trade Center.
But they keep saying a lot of those people arenīt coming back.
līm 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? -līm serious.
Yes! The Yankee playoffs? l knew it. l knew he was going to.
Mom, you better come here.
Stay here, okay?
Whatīs wrong?
Dad and Uncle Pat have a deal.
lf anything happens to one of them, they go and tell the other family.
Are you here to tell me something?
Donīt come in here, Pat. l mean it. Donīt you come into this house.
Donna, heīs not.
We donīt know. We donīt know.
Theyīve declared him as missing, thatīs all. Heīs just missing.
l know. l know. līm with you. Come here.
l know.
We got confirmation. John went in.
Oh, Dad.
ltīs okay, baby.
ltīs okay. ltīs gonna be okay.
Hey. Hey.
Willīs a tough nut. Heīs gonna make it.
-l know it, honey. -Dad.
-l just know it. Come on. -Dad.
-Your momīs out there.
-līll clean you up. -Dad.
What?
How...
How would l tell Bianca her fatherīs dead?
Missing means missing, Ma. lt doesnīt mean dead.
Sheīs very strong. Sheīs gonna be all right.
-Jer. -Yeah.
Weīve 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?
l donīt 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 ī93.
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?
l donīt know. līm not a doctor.
Twenty-four hours is the most līve heard of. Maybe 1 4,
16.
Just donīt sleep.
So weīve 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.
She was, like, three years old or something.
lf she could make it, we can make it.
Maybe we ainīt bleeding so bad inside.
-Sarge? -Yeah, Will.
You got any kids?
Four. l got four.
-Thatīs a lot of kids. -Yeah.
ltīs a lot of work for my wife.
What are their names?
Steven. Heīs the oldest.
Heīs 15.
Caitlinīs 12. Peanut.
JJ, heīs 10.
We got a little girl.
Erin.
Sheīs four.
We had her late.
lt wasnīt planned. lt just... lt happened.
l donīt know.
-Whatīs that? -Whatīs what?
That sound.
l got a pipe here.
Keep doing that!
What about JJīs tuition?
-ltīs not easy. -Right.
Did you vomit yesterday?
Yeah. Yeah, yesterday and today.
-And today? -Yeah.
You know what? l probably just have the flu, hon.
Yeah? Okay.
So, wait...
Yeah, thereīs supposed to be a stripe.
-A stripe? ltīs a stripe. -Yeah.
Yeah, itīs a stripe.
Thatīs good.
ltīs good. ltīs good. ltīs good. ltīs good.
Yeah, itīs good. Yeah.
ltīs good.
...seems just like a ghost town in the financial district. Very eerie.
You saw people being wheeled on gurneys
away from the site of the explosions.
People were coming out with masks over their face,
anything they could put over their face
because the air was still very thick with debris.
The ash on the ground is at least two inches thick.
ltīs more like snow cover.
Mom, listen.
Officials are saying that as many
as 400 police, fire and rescue teams entered the towers,
and there are fears that half of them are missing and feared lost.
We are waiting for more on the survivors.
There are no clear estimates yet on numbers,
but it is clear that many of New Yorkīs finest
have been lost on this day.
These are the so-called first responders.

For what?
What good did we do?
We wanted to go in.
Kassimatis said you were the best.
You were the guy who knew everything down here.
Dom, Antonio and Chris, nothing was gonna stop them from trying to help.
We figured we might as well follow the best guy in.
The best?
They did what they had to do, Sarge.
They couldnīt have lived with themselves if they hadnīt gone in.
Thatīs who they were.
Okay.
Thank you, Will.
Will?

About 20 minutes ago, we were reporting on another building
at the site of the World Trade Center
that they referred to as Building Seven.
Officials were watching very closely because
it was on fire and in danger of collapsing.
Well, moments ago, it did collapse.
So that would be the third building in the World Trade Center complex
that has collapsed today.
There are no reports yet of additional casualties...
Rescue officials in the area
have suspended the search for survivors.
No word yet on when rescue teams might get back to trying to find anyone...
Thatīs a lot of guys not with him.
Port Authority Police. Sergeant King speaking.
l got cars cooking off. l got rounds flying all over the place.

Chief, you got to let us in. My whole battalionīs in here, Chief.
-Thereīs still guys in there. -l know it, boys. Not tonight.
Tomorrowīs another day. ltīll be dark in a half an hour, man!
God bless their souls, but līm not letting you join them!
Everybody report to the station there.
Whatīs the status here?
The search has been called off.
They say the Marriottīs gonna go, too, and until itīs more stable, weīre out.
This whole thing is crap, man.
Our guys are in there. Theyīre dying in there.
ltīs like God made a curtain with the smoke,
shielding us from what weīre not yet ready to see.
All right, nut bag.
Didnīt even finish them.

You put the plywood here. Put the saw here. Nice and easy.

You said you wanted to get out of the house.
You have your cell phone?

You die, līm gonna die.
Okay?
You die,

Well, you canīt die, either.
Sounds good.
But in case...
You think you could do me a favor?
Whatīs that?
Could you put it out over the radio
that l request
my daughter to be named Olivia?
And tell them
to tell Allison that l love her,
and that she should name my daughter Olivia.
8-13.
This is McLoughlin
PAPD.
Officer Jimeno requests his daughter be named
Olivia.
Officer Jimeno

Further to that,

-Donīt say no to me. -Whatīs wrong with you?
-Donīt you want to find him? -Yes, l want to find him.

You want some tuna without the bread?
No, Mom, līm not hungry.
You have to eat something.
The babyīs going through this, too, honey.
How about a waffle?
Forget it, Patricia. Sheīd throw it up.
l could cook up some macaroni.
No, thatīs okay, Ma. līm going to put Bianca to bed.
ltīs also a great test for us all,
wherever we live, whatever our age, whatever our beliefs.
Just look at that scene and think about what happened today.
Rescue officials predict that hundreds, if not thousands...
-Mommy! -Hey, baby.

You remember Starsky and Hutch?
When l was a kid, it was on TV.

When that would come on,

Took me six years to be a cop.
The only thing l ever wanted to be was a cop.
How long you been in?
Twenty-one years.
Boy, thatīs a lifetime.
Youīre one tough guy, Sergeant.

-Youīre the Marine? -Yeah.
Scott Strauss, Emergency Service Unit.
What do we got? How many are down there? Two down there?
Theyīre Port Authority cops.
The first oneīs down about 20 feet, in pretty bad shape.
The second oneīs even deeper.
ltīs a tough hole to get down, but theyīre in there, and theyīre alive.
We got to hold them off, Paddy.
All right, listen up.
No one make any sudden moves. All right?
This whole thingīs like a pile of pick-up sticks.

Staff Sergeant.
-Okay. -You all right?
Yeah.
Okay.

You tell her and my kids that l love them, okay?
You ready?
-Letīs go. -All right.
Hi. Whereīs John McLoughlin?
-Mrs. McLoughlin? -Yes.
Heīs alive, but līm afraid thereīs been a mistake.
Mistake?
When they called me, they really thought John walked out.
He didnīt. Heīs still trapped, but theyīre working on him.
ls he hurt bad?
Oh, my God.
Oh, this is not right.
This is not right!
He gave you everything, years of his life!
And you canīt even get this right?
Where is he? līm going down there.

Where are they taking him?

Hey, Willy.
Brother, take a blow. Take the blow. We got fresh guys up there.

Why canīt l ever get a female cop?
At least somebody skinny.
What do you want? My wifeīs a great cook.
Sheīd better be,
īcause līm bringing 20 people to that barbecue youīre giving for me.
Scotty! They say they canīt control the fires.
Building Four and Five might come down.
Nothing like a little pressure, right?
God damn it. ltīs not working.
Try more cribbing.
Chuck. Paddy.
Just get out of here.
This whole damn thing could come down on us.
Thereīs no sense in all of us getting killed.
You gonna pry up that slab and get him out of here yourself?

Finally figured out the only thing līve ever been good at is helping people.
Weīre doing this together.

We canīt get anything to you down there right now, John.

Okay.

Youīre coming out in one piece, you hear me?
You gotta...
Look, itīs my leg. Just juice me up and cut it off.
lf he dies, l die. Thatīs just the way it is.
Look, Will, your partner must be 20 feet deeper.
Probably more compacted than you.
Even if l cut your leg off, heīs not gonna get out of there for hours.
līm sorry, man. Now, let me do my work.
Weīre going again!
Hi.

Honey, the kitchenīs not even finished yet.

Just get up and come home.
Donna, l canīt. l...
You can do it.

Theyīre digging my husband out. They found him in the rubble.

Thousands of people in there, Paddy. Where the hell are they?
9/1 1 showed us what human beings are capable of.
The evil, yeah, sure.
But it also brought out a goodness we forgot could exist.
People taking care of each other
