There were uniformed troops with sidearms stationed at metal barricades, keeping onlookers at bay along Broadway, permitting glimpses from two blocks away of what little was left standing. From Maiden Lane you could clearly see an army of workers poking around the rubble, searching for the remains of victims. The air was still hard to breathe; I had a metallic taste in my mouth all night long.
