>bt: WTC Attack: Burning Towers, Empty Shoes

By David Vogler
11 September 2001

Smoke billows from Tower 1, where the first plane struck	The damage at the point of entry can be seen through the smoke and flames
The fires in both towers can be seen in this view from the north	The National Guard is called in, closing Manhattan south of 14th Street
Shoes of those killed line a curb	A satellite photo shows the hole left in lower Manhattan
For a time, there was hope that some of the missing would be found...	...but these flyers are now just a sad reminder of the love lost
One of the dozens of impromptu memorials...	...that sprung up all around Manhattan
The soot that dusted lower Manhattan worried residents and closed facilities	A massive flag drapes a building shortly after the attacks
