Two decades on, a 9/11 survivor recalls the exact moment he realised the entire World Trade Center was gone. He says that when he looked back at the New York skyline from the boat, he asked the helmsman, "Where is the World Trade Center?", to which he grimly replied, "They're gone".

As both the North Tower and the South Tower collapse to the ground during the events of September 11, 2001, firefighters usher New Yorkers to head west towards the Hudson River, where boats were waiting to rescue them from the collapse and take them to the safety of a triage centre at Ellis Island.
