And so I walked across town to get her.
And we were part of the mass exodus walking four miles uptown.
And of all the thousands of images that were captured that day, one image I, and I went through all the books and everything, you know, one image that was really never captured was this, it was very quiet.
We were all walking in one direction, just imagine thousands of people, no cars on the road, walking north.
No one in the subway.
No.
Yeah, everyone's just like... Everybody's above ground, and we're all going, it was very quiet and speckled in between all of this exodus where people covered head to toe in soot.
Wow.
But other than that, everything was normal.
They were holding their briefcase and their newspaper, and it was just covered in debris.
They were covered.
I mean, we saw the pictures of people covered, but they were just speckled.
And my sister, she had two colleagues which we dropped them off on the way.
And I remember there was all four of us and we were coming up Park Avenue and there's a guy sitting on a stoop frantically calling somebody, I guess to tell them that he was alive.
frantically calling and we walked up to him and we said give us the number no words were spoken we just i remember we just walked up and said give us the number we'll help call and he held up his address book he just pointed he didn't have words we all typed in the number into our phones we're hitting you know send send sends and every single one of us was trying to call
We were all getting busy signals.
My sister's phone got through.
She hands him the phone.
He takes it.
He says, I'm okay.
