The day I’ll never forget 911, I was there photographing I was on my way into the city on the path train I was working in So Ho at the time I was taking the path train into the world trade center my train got delayed because the first plane hit I watched one of the World Trade Center‘s on fire the train still went to the city but to pen station midtown 34th St. I knew I had to get down there to photograph I had one little camera with me with film I had to get to my Store and grab a big camera with a case of film I flagged a cab down jumped in, there were hundreds of people coming the opposite way away from downtown almost like a Godzilla movie the cab driver only could make it to Washington Square, Park too much traffic I jogged the next 20 blocks to get to my equipment at the store by time I got to Prince and Broadway there were hundreds of people with dust all over them some people were crying I got up to the top of my building on the 30th floor and shot about five rolls of film then I went down by the World Trade Center the smoke and dust was terrible now that I think about it if my train would’ve got me to the World Trade Center on time I would’ve been one of those photographers taking pictures right under the World Trade Center and it would’ve fell on me I’ve been close to death before but this time made me think I thanked God for about a month the bizarre thing when the guy let me out at Washington Square, Park I saw the first building collapse right in front of my eyes it was like I was hallucinating I was there all day during 911 and 912 I had a bunch of buddies train buddies that worked in the World Trade Center that took the train with me into Manhattan when I came back Home to Cranford New Jersey three of their cars were there for about a week never saw them again this photo right here was a guy riding a bicycle with American flag in his Back pack I slapped him five
