Brooklyn, New York When I arrived at work I was told about the World Trade Center at about 9:15 AM. I went to the roof of the library in the New Lots area and looked toward New York. I then first saw the smoke from the buildings. While we tried to open the library we soon received orders to close. I then spent the remainder of the day by car, bus, on foot across Northern Brooklyn, by train to Manhattan at 42nd St and on foot to the ferry and arrived at my home in New Jersey at 7:30 PM. During the ferry ride WTC#7 went down. LC Story: Memory What is your strongest memory of that day? There are two. I was at the World Trade Center at 8:20 AM to about 8:30 AM looking for a salad to get for lunch on the lower level. I normally went to work through the World Trade center.
