The World Trade Center Memorial
I was on the subway, on my way to work in Times Square. I did not know what it happened until I got to my desk. I had to walk home to my place in Chinatown that day, because the trains had stopped running. From the roof of my building, I could see the smoke rising. Pulverized glass from the towers covered everything.
