| 摘要： | On the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, many events around the country are being held to commemorate the horrific, but also heroic, events of 9/11. The story of the brave responders at Ground Zero, many of whom suffered lifelong health complications from the toxic materials at the site, is well-known.

When the Twin Towers collapsed, they covered Lower Manhattan in a cloud of thick, choking, toxic dust. The lower part of the island was without power, since one of the collapsing towers had sliced a subterranean power line. The streets were filled with bewildered people wondering what had happened. Many of them converged on the wharfs and piers. |
