Surviving the chaos of one World Trade Center attack
Matt Beckman recalls escaping Tower One on September 11 2001 as a plane struck overhead and the building shook like an earthquake. He fled a smoke filled staircase minutes before Tower Two collapsed, joining others who faced fear pain and uncertainty in the wake of the attack. Betty Ann Nelson pregnant and eight months along fled near the American Stock Exchange hearing glass and debris fall as she reached Liberty State Park and later Jersey City Medical Center. Survivors describe the upheaval the acrid air and the lasting memory of that day.
