Title
A New York Symphony, WTC in the Evening [Archival Audio]
Description
Tilman Reitzle had always been dazzled by the sights and sounds of rush hour at the WTC. Finally, on June 27, 1986--a Friday--he brought his SONY ProWalkman. That evening, he stood in the concourse near the turnstiles to the PATH train and recorded this ambient noise. You can hear the sounds of the trains, a vendor trying to persuade a woman to buy a battery-lighted spinning top, passing commuters singing and whistling, Susan B. Anthony dollar coins dropping into the change tray.
