i was commuting into manhattan at that time. i was passing around where the world trade center was on my express bus, which was a regular commute to work. suddenly, we were at a red light and we felt the ground shaking. we thought it was an earthquake. looking out the window, i see them in on the sidewalk pointing up. everyone starts looking up and we see a whole -- a hole in the side of one of the towers and there was fire coming out and smoke. it was very scary. the bus kept going and i got off my regular stop at 14th street. i tried to call my parents that day to tell them i was ok. all of the phones had been down. he couldn't make any phone calls at that time. -- you couldn't make any phone calls at that time. i went to work, i went to my office. they eventually sent everyone home. the city was on lockdown, you couldn't get out of the island of manhattan so i walked uptown to a friend of mine apartment and i stayed there until i was able to leave manhattan. your first thought was we are having an earthquake. which it was alw

this is not just a manhattan thing. it started to dawn on her what a big ring she had just been through. host: tammy has a sister anna college roommate who is in the world trade center. ms. dulong: the story of her sister was powerful. it's personally powerful for me because one of the things that was affecting was a particular corner of when the world financial center holding was basically sliced through. it was very haunting to see that. she had got out and had forgotten whatever she needed for that appointment and went back to her office and still managed to escape before the corner was sliced off. tammy's colors remain was not as fortunate -- tammy's college roommate was not as fortunate and perished in the collapse. host: how long did the boatlift rescue take place on 9/11? how many hours did it take the people who could leave off the end of the island? ms. dulong: there is no stopwatch running and there was an ad hoc supply effort that was over half -- overlapping with the evacuation efforts. they also picked up s

they see the crash and continue on into lower manhattan. they dock, and every single commuter on the boat gets off and walks into work in lower manhattan. they walk off the boat through papers and envelopes fluttering down from the impact. there is not a single person on the ferry who says this seems like it's going to be a weird day. brian gunderson the chief of staff he walks past it on the way to the morning staff meeting at nine and says i thought it was like i thought it was going to be like a bad school shooting the type of thing that dominates national news and it doesn't dot fundamentally affect anyone's day. president bush and condoleezza rice the national security advisor that morning, condoleezza rice calls the president, they talk about the crash and how strange the crash is. condoleezza rice goes into her meeting and president bush walks into the classroom at booker elementary school to read to the schoolchildren. robert mueller, the fbi director was in his second week on the job and the way the fbi was bringing him up to speed

for those of us _ lower manhattan mayor. for those of us who _ lower manhattan mayor. for those of us who i _ lower manhattan mayor. for those of us who i say who covered at some of those images will never leave us, and ijust wonder what you thought about the images that define generations, and the crashing down of edifices and buildings. how important was that in the psychology do you think also of what they were trying to deal? well, that's a good question. i think what was going on was 0sama bin laden who is heading up 0sama bin laden who is heading up al-qaeda, he realised it was not possible to defeat america by military means in an open war. but it was possible to insult america, and it was very deliberate in terms of symbolic targets if, as i said, the twin towers for the symbol of american economic might, well, obviously, the pentagon was a symbol of american military might, and by the same token, if flight 93 had ever hit its target, we strongly believe that that would offend the us capital, a symbol of american political might, so these are symbolic targets,

we now have what in lower manhattan 21% vacancy rates. what will it take to have a more sustainable comeback scott and where does the commercial real estate business community stand now? >> you know, it's interesting. i think a lot about the parallel s between 9/11 and that crisis and the covid-19 crisis that we've been living through, and post-9/11 we had this new threat of terrorism, and the montra was that we had an obligation, you know, a civic obligation to go out and move forward, to reopen our restaurants, to reopen our small businesses, and we were going to learn to co-exist with this new threat of terrorism and we would go through metal detectors and everything else that was new to us, feels like covid to some degree. there's been some level of surrendering that we're going to wait this out versus saying with ehave to co-exist and we have to overcome it and i think that a lot of the people in the commercial real estate industry are talking to our clients about how do you do that how do you focus on having the infrastructure, the

greg mocker has a look at the rebirth of lower manhattan. lower manhattan is always in motion. people moving reaching for the sky taking the subway around the world trade center, you get a feeling. >> pause. it's a place of growth. >> and it's a place of progress. and the place of life. >> it can be both calming and alarming to be here. one world trade stands tall. the tallest in the western hemisphere, a giant symbol of hope and also a reflection about the lives lost and the horror of what happened on september 11th. i >> i was down on chambers street when i saw the second tower joel had see stories everywhere. he doesn't go anywhere without his camera. it was dark. >> covered in smoke. >> and you couldn't see anything. it cleared. >> suddenly on the 80th floor of 4 world trade. one of 7 buildings in the complex. his pictures document the evolution of the area or for destruction and complete darkness and still rising again. you have to work as a team in order to get things done. and especially on a project like this. this just sort of brings it into focus. we live just north.

we cleaned up lower manhattan to get wall street up and running. we gave hope to a broken city 20 years ago. and we're paying for it with our lives. and the first 20 years were hard on us. the next 20 years are going to decimate the 9/11 responder community. and i pray that i our federal government evolves us with, as we evolve for the worst. >> people might not know your specific story, but you were one of the first responder, one of the individuals there at the recovery site, and you got grievously wounded, required many, many surgeries and you had to sue in order to get your care paid for, and in doing that, you blazed a trail for others to follow. as i just mentioned, there's a new justice department report indicating that more americans are reported to have died from 9/11-related illnesses than were killed on 9/11. it also shows that the victim compensation fund has referred claims from every state, and puerto rico and the virgin islands, what do you make of the shear number of claims and illness, especially in light of all of the hard work th

there is a shot of it here in lower manhattan. ceremonies going on small and large before the larger ones that happen today where joe biden will be here and other dignitaries. but, every single fire hall. every single police station, every single community remembering different people on this day and we do, too. will: it's a privilege and honor to be able broadcast live from this moment and this location this morning. it's hard to maybe translate across the television screen. as you sit here and in the segments that were not on television and i lean my elbows on this railing and look out over ground zero what was the site of the world trade center, it's hard to communicate the sense of awe that you feel. you just take a moment in a quiet moment and look out over this. you do feel what was lost. you do feel so much, i don't know, presence of so many things. of course, the people that were lost but, also, the prayer, the faith, the principles, what this nation stands for. it's all here. it's all somewhere in between these buildings.

space that's 30% we created the blueprint to diversify lower manhattan's economy. it used to be 70% financial service, 30% others. today it's 30% financial service and 70% education, many others we created a plan to convert older obsolete office buildings to residential and we were heading in the right direction. but obviously 9/11 was a major tragic event for everybody in downtown the city, the country. and we had to take a step back i think at that time there were maybe 20,000 people living in lower manhattan. and then all of a sudden a year later, after 9/11, things started to come back together and people started moving back downtown companies moved back downtown. and things turned around and that's what i talk about in terms of miracle and your article this morning talked about why 9/11 could be a road map for getting through the covid crisis same thing, everybody talked negatively about the downtown, it wasn't coming back, happened again after the financial crisis, happened again after sandy. nobody was ever going to move or live downtown. and before the covi

there is still plenty of talent coming into manhattan. the question of these second hubs is how are they going to get at the end of the day? the competition away from new york and new york office space is a question. matt: if you are sent to equities in dallas, it is not necessarily the worst thing. sonali basak talking about global wall street, the diaspora of wall street. speaking of finance, something that caught my eye is that a company told its staff in japan not to smoke during working hours, even if they are working from home. interesting thing is you could smoke at nomura in the office. this is a new story from today. rules will be based on mutual trust and do not include a punitive cause. but the idea is that people who work at nomura, who previously could walk into dedicated smoking rooms in the office, will not be able to do that from october. they're going to give them a couple of months, apparently, to clear out in terms of the putrid smell, clean them and repurpose them. in terms of working home, you have to promise you will
