See the remains
of the tower way in the distance?
A building
destroyed, WTC remains behind it - all in the distance.
Gregory noticed
this billboard - I love the tag line.
See the
snowflakes of ash? There are human remains in that ash!
This part of the
west side of TriBeCa was without power - total blackness - NEVER seen that in
NYC before! While Greg and I were riding through one spooky, evacuated, pitch
black street - some mysterious weirdo shined a flashlight onto us from high up
on a building as we rode by. The light following us. So creepy. Then we made our
way in the darkness to this ash-covered bus. The only illumination.
Ash covering
everything like snow.
OK here is the
best shot I could get while choking on ash of Mayor Gulliani greeting some
firemen before he went through one of the checkpoints to examine the scene. I
know I know he's obscured by a fireman - hey my camera's slow! Considering how
Greg and I were all over the place on our bikes and we saw Gulliani TWICE in the
span of one hour - he was really getting around.
.These papers
were ALL OVER the streets mixed with the ash. Guess what they are? Yep! Office
memos and whatever from the offices of the many floors of the WTC. Indeed. Some
were burned. It really makes you think twice about slaving day after day in some
stupid office job. I saved two and scanned them below:
This one freaked
my roommate Domenic out when he looked at it. He works (worked) in a restaurant
across from WTC One and works in the delivery to-go department. He says that
Joseph Lesser is one of his regular customers who ordered lunch from them almost
every day. Creepy that this is one of four random ones I picked up.
A burnt
one.
Abandoned fruit
stand. There were piles of dust-covered food and bottles of water (and lots of
shoes - oddly) everywhere. 
Make shift help
center. At first we thought the sleeping people were bodies.
