All right.

Dom?

Dom?

I'm hurt.

Dom, it's me, Willy.

Look at me.

Stay awake.

Can I get a 3-8, Sarge?

Yeah, Dom. You take a break.

I'm dying, Willy.

No. No, you're not. Dom, stop this.

Don't forget

I really tried to save you guys.

I love you, Willy.

I love you, too, Dom.

Dom's gone.

Dom's gone!

I know.

Jimeno,

can you still see the light?

can you still see the light?

Yeah.

Yeah!

How far up?

I don't know. Maybe 20 feet up.

There's still stuff in the way.

What else do you see?

Beams. Plaster. Nothing.

It is with deep sadness and regret

that I have to advise you

that two hijacked planes

have crashed into the Twin Towers

of the World Trade Center...

...from what remains

of the World Trade Center for 9:00.

One airplane crashed into

World Trade Center Two.

About 15 minutes later, an airplane

crashed into the second one.

About an hour later,

both of them collapsed.

Associated Press is reporting

that a plane or helicopter

crashed at the Pentagon,

and the Pentagon is being evacuated.

Whether that fire is in the building itself

or outside, we have not yet confirmed.

This is a live picture of the Pentagon

and an Associated Press reporter says

he could see the tail of a large airliner

as it plowed into the Pentagon.

And that fire there in Washington

continues to burn.

Bastards!

...just a few minutes after that,

it wasn't very long,

you will see, it happened again.

The second tower came tumbling down.

That was the first tower collapse

that we just saw.

This is the collapse

of the second tower.

And so now, as we stand here,

both towers...

The tops of both towers are gone.

Allison, let's sit outside.

Behind somewhere that plume of smoke

that continues to rise over the...

He's probably still at the bus terminal.

What is left of those buildings,

we cannot tell you.

We cannot tell you.

-Allison.

-Jerry.

Al, I'm looking at the Tunnel.

There's no one there.

No Port Authorities there.

Al, I don't...

I guess they got called in.

Can you get someone to drive you?

-Allison?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, I'll see you at home

in half an hour.

I'll call Mom and Dad.

Okay.

We got to pick up Bianca.

Both towers came down,

trapping thousands

and thousands of people inside.

We do not know the numbers yet,

but we do know thousands of people

work inside those buildings.

That... The buildings are gone.

There are reports

that hundreds and hundreds

of fire and police and rescue crews

are missing or unaccounted for.

Officials seem simply stunned

by the scale of the losses...

They keep showing the same thing

over and over and over.

Jay's there.

They must have called in

every company in the city.

He would have been there early.

Yeah, John, too, probably.

He knows those buildings so well.

They've seen something

no one has ever seen before.

One man who came by said

he had seen this building come down.

It looked as though it was imploding.

This was complete chaos and utter hell

that has come to Lower Manhattan.

Oh, my God.

Judy. Listen to me. Listen to me. Look.

They evacuated those buildings.

All right?

I'm sure most everybody got out.

They're fine.

In the '93 attack,

John said everybody got out real quick.

God. In '93,

the buildings didn't fall down.

All right, well,

I'm going to call everybody and cancel.

A Den Mothers meeting right now

sounds pretty dumb, right?

I keep looking for John.

There's so many policemen

running around.

Maybe I'll see him.

-Judy.

-Yeah?

Judy...

-They're here to tell us they're dead.

-No.

No, they're not. They're not.

-Hey, Judy. Jay...

-No. No.

Look, we know he's alive. All right?

They know where he is.

They're communicating with him.

He's alive?

Yes. Yeah, we're gonna go

down there now and help out.

-Oh, thank God.

-Yes!

There you go.

-Thank God. Oh, my God.

-There you go.

Oh, that's good.

-That's good.

-Thank you, God.

PAPD.

Officers Jimeno and McLoughlin.

We're trapped near

the FE Five vestibule.

Will you please work?

I'm so thirsty.

You're not kidding.

My mouth feels like a beach.

-How's your pain?

-Comes in waves.

Every 20, 30 minutes.

Every wave, I feel the pain less.

But I'm more numb.

The number I get

the more I want to sleep.

What's wrong with sleep?

I wish I could

so this pain would go away.

You're bleeding inside, Will.

You sleep, you don't know

if you're coming back.

Awake, at least you got a shot.

Your brain, maybe, keeps you alive.

That's what I think, anyway.

You know that movie, G.I. Jane?

What's-her-name?

-Yeah, Demi Moore.

-Yeah.

You know the part where

the drill sergeant says,

"Pain is good. Pain is your friend.

If you're feeling pain you're still alive"?

I didn't see the movie.

I keep thinking of that line.

Pain is your friend.

It means you're alive.

We'll make it, Will.

Just don't go to sleep.

Sarge, I got a fire here!

Sarge!

There's nothing I can do here!

Sarge!

I'm burning! I'm burning!

Please God.

Where'd that wind come from

all of a sudden, Sarge?

I don't know.

The fire just goes out like that, Sarge?

Why's that?

I don't know.

You're not a big talker, are you?

No.

Well, see, you got to talk to me 'cause...

I can't,

'cause my knees are crushed together!

That's why I can't f***ing talk!

Oh, God!

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Holy sh*t!

Dom's gun is cooking off!

Will!

Will! Will, that's it!

All the rounds got to be done, Will.

I can't believe this is happening!

-Not in my whole goddamn life!

-Breathe, Will.

Come on, breathe.

Get your mind right!

Mrs. Jimeno, please hold.

...Pennsylvania. This is where

the United Airlines flight,

I believe it is 176...

I'm sorry, I'm correcting...

United Airlines 93...

I'm sorry, Mrs. Jimeno, we can't make

that kind of assessment yet.

-We just...

-Is that Allison Jimeno?

We grew up together.

Let me talk to her.

Al, it's Brian. I just got in.

-Hi, Brian.

-Allison,

listen, they sent Will down on a bus

with a bunch of the guys.

-So he did go down there?

-Yeah.

And did he go in the buildings?

We don't know.

Brian, did he go in the buildings

or did he not go in the buildings?

We're trying to find that out.

It's very basic.

Did he go in or did he not go in?

Allison, I'll call you

as soon as we know.

Bianca? Sweetie, I'm sorry.

Brian, I... Brian, why don't you

tell me what's going on?

-I'll take Bianca to my place.

-No.

-I'll keep her here. I wanna...

-My parents are there.

They'll take care of her. Okay?

She'll be five houses away.

Want to go play?

...shards of metal coming past...

Brian?

President Bush was in Florida

when the attacks began.

He spoke a short time ago

from an Air Force base in Louisiana.

Here's some of what the President said.

The resolve of our great nation

is being tested.

But make no mistake, we will show

the world that we will pass this test.

God bless.

We're told the President's plane

has flown on,

but for security reasons,

the government will not say where
