00:00And I'm David Haffenreffer. It is lunchtime in London, 5 a.m. in Los Angeles and 8 a.m. here in New York, live from the CNN Financial News headquarters. You're watching Before Hours.
00:12May I have your attention, please? May I have your attention, please? Leave the building by the nearest exit. Do not use the elevators.
00:21It's been all right!
00:25Obviously a major malfunction.
00:30We're going to show you some videotape now that I think if you have youngsters around, you might want to pay special attention to it, because the portrayal of the violence is extremely graphic. So, take a look.
00:47Marcy Borders, born July 19, 1973, died August 24, 2015, was an American legal assistant who worked for Bank of America at its branch, located in the World Trade Center's North Tower, and survived its collapse following the September 11 attacks.
01:10She arrived at their offices on the 81st floor, inside of the North Tower, soon after 8 o'clock a.m.
01:25America 11, near the Irish, climate change.
01:28Maintains flight level 2, 9 or 0.
01:30Flight level 2, 9, 0, American 11.
01:35The cockpit's not answering, somebody's staff in business class, and I think there's
02:03a plane that we can't breathe, I don't know, I think we're getting hijacked.
02:08Nobody moves, and everything will be okay.
02:13They just try to make any moves to danger itself on the airplane.
02:33When American Airlines Flight 11 hit the tower, her supervisor thought it might have been
03:02a small jet plane that had nipped the building.
03:07The plane hit 12 stories above them, and boarders and her colleagues could feel the building
03:13shaking and see chairs and office supplies falling out of the window.
03:17The second thing behind the building is that the plane is that the plane has a huge jet plane
03:29to get off by the plane, and a little more than the plane is that the plane is coming out.
03:36The plane is coming out of the plane and a little more than the air will be done.

04:10Oh
04:40I think that's what I'm going to do.
05:10I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
05:40Man, this shit came from over there.
06:04Oh fuck!
06:05Holy shit!
06:07I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
06:17Smash directly, perhaps purposefully, into...
06:22Oh my goodness!
06:23Oh God!
06:24There's another one.
06:25Oh!
06:26Oh my goodness, there's another one.
06:28That seems to be on purpose.
06:30Oh my goodness!
06:31Oh my goodness!
06:32Oh my goodness!
06:33Oh my goodness!
06:42May I have your attention, please?
06:44May I have your attention, please?
06:45A fire emergency has been recorded in the building.
06:49Please leave the building by the nearest exit.
06:52Do not use the elevators.
06:54May I have your attention, please?
06:56May I have your attention, please?
06:57May I have your attention, please?
06:58May I have your attention, please?
06:59A fire emergency has been recorded in the building.
07:02Please leave the building by the nearest exit.
07:05Do not use the elevators.
07:07May I have your attention, please?
07:09May I have...
07:11I have a ship.
07:12And Channel 6 to the designator of command tower can't open.
07:15Right now, the right over the center is 4-12 to 2 inches.
07:19Borders fled down the staircase, and estimated it took her an hour to escape.
07:25By this time, the south tower had also been hit, and begun collapsing.
07:30Well, it appears that the American
07:51I can't see that second power, but there was a cascade of sparks and thunder, and now this looks almost like a munching pile, which is close to this huge...
08:07Oh my God, something else blew up.
08:10The resulting dust cloud knocked borders off her feet, and she struggled to breathe or see.
08:40A man pulled her out of the dust cloud and dragged her into the lobby of a nearby building.
08:46It was in this building Stan Honda captured the famous photo of her.
08:52Recalling the moment, he said,
09:06Recalling the moment, he said,
09:08This woman came in completely covered in dust. It was a strange sight.
09:12She paused for a second, and I took one photo. It was just that one frame. I really only had time for that one shot.
09:20Then somebody took her upstairs. She was gone.
09:23What have people done now?
09:26Jesus Christ!
09:30Jesus Christ!
09:32Jesus Christ!
09:38Jesus Christ!
09:41Paul.
09:46Jesus Christ!
09:48He was gone!
09:50What have people been looking for nosotros?
09:52Just by Hautirikon!
09:54En выступ on Cerveras perょinya
09:56Hello, hello!
10:03This way, hello, hello, hello!
10:08Hello!
10:13Hello!
10:33Come on, come on, boy.
10:36Come on, boy.
10:44Come on, boy.
10:52I can't see it.
10:54The whole fucking top of the building just came down.
10:57Yeah, it looks like a big chunk of it has just peeled away.
10:59One can only hope that the area has been evacuated
11:02but, of course, you wonder about all the emergency vehicles
11:05and the people who might have been injured early in the morning.
11:09All right, we got four guys.
11:18All right, we got four guys.
11:21All right, yeah.
11:25All right, yeah.
11:26I'm going to go to the bottom of the building.
11:27Let's go, let's hop on the floor.
11:29Up to the top of the left.
11:31Up to the top of the left.
11:57And he likes to see your face.
12:21Do you see any world great south?
12:24with a hit on the latest explosion,
12:27the man posted to be in the back of me at this time.
12:54Shoot!
13:07Move!
13:24Move!
13:48Can.
14:24Oh my gosh, come on.
14:38Go eat this.
14:43Try and shoot this.
14:45Try and shoot this as we run, Jared.
14:47Try and shoot this.
14:48I'm shooting this.
14:49You were in Tower 2 when it happened?
14:56I was the one that said Tower 1.
15:01Did it fall towards you?
15:02You were still in Tower 1?
15:03No, we had just come out.
15:04We were walking.
15:05We had just come out of Tower 1.
15:06We were walking towards Broadway.
15:07They said, move along, move along, move along.
15:10I looked up as soon as we got across the street.
15:12I looked up.
15:13I saw the building start, the tower start to buckle.
15:15I just turned and ran, ducked down, put a jacket over my head.
15:18Three or four of us huddled together, and it was just black everywhere.
15:24Were you covered?
15:25Were you hit with debris?
15:26No, no, no, no.
15:27But I mean, I was ducked behind a subway cover.
15:29So, you know, with the jacket over and trying to, you know, all this huddled together.
15:33There was, you know, dust going on everywhere.
15:35Oh my God, duck down!
15:37The second building has just come down.
15:47The second, everyone's being asked to get down.
15:50Cut it down.
15:52The people are now panicking again.
15:54The second tower has just fallen.
15:58It's about 10.25.
15:59Keep going!
16:00Let's go!
16:01Let's go!
16:02Let's go, go!
16:03Let's go, go!
16:04Let's go, go!
16:05Let's go, go!
16:07Let's go, go!
16:09Oh my God!
16:10Carrie, I'm in the TV shop!
16:15I'm in the TV shop!
16:33Стetaan!
16:35You ready?
16:36I did it!
16:38I did it preachy!
16:40I'm in the TV shop!
16:42I'm in the TV shop!
16:44Radical Islamic Jihad movement saying the attacks are a consequence of United States
16:55policy in the Middle East.
17:02Within seconds of the collapse of the World Trade Center in the September 11 attacks,
17:07building materials, electronic equipment and furniture were pulverized and spread over
17:13the area of the Financial District of Lower Manhattan.
17:29In the five months following the attacks, dust from the pulverized buildings continued to
17:35fill the air of the World Trade Center site.
17:40Many New York residents have reported symptoms of ground zero respiratory illnesses.
17:47Various health programs have arisen to deal with the ongoing health effects of the September
17:5211 attacks.
17:55The World Trade Center Health Program, which provides testing and treatment to 9-11 responders
18:01and survivors, consolidated many of these after the James Zadroga 9-11 Health and Compensation
18:07Act became law in January 2011.
18:15More people have died from illnesses caused by 9-11 than during the attack itself.
18:20More people have died from the end of the freakin'
18:25recalling people caused by 20.
18:36Two Groupsowa
18:46What happened?
19:06It collapsed.
19:08The top floors collapsed down.
19:11I saw it blow and then ran like hell.
19:15Thank God.
19:16I'm 69, but I can still run.
19:21There's got to be volume of trap back there.
19:23I can still do it.
19:31So, let's go.
20:01As of December 2017,
20:30the most common conditions certified by the World Trade Center Health Program were rhinosinusitis,
20:37gastroesophical reflux disease, asthma, sleep apnea, cancer, post-traumatic stress disorder,
20:45respiratory disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, depression, and anxiety disorder.
20:52The most common cancers were skin cancer and prostate cancer.
21:00The dust from the collapsed towers
21:29was wildly toxic, according to air pollution expert,
21:34University of California Davis professor, emeritus Thomas Cahill.
21:39Most of the thousands of tons of debris resulting from the collapse of the Twin Towers
21:44was pulverized concrete, which is known to cause silicosis.
21:49Upon inhalation, the remainder consisted of more than 2,500 contaminants, more specifically,
21:5850% non-fibrous material and construction debris, 40% glass and other fibers, 9.2% cellulose,
22:07and 0.8% of the extremely toxic carcinogen, asbestos, as well as detectable amounts of lead, mercury.
22:17There were also unprecedented levels of dioxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from the fires,
22:25which burned for three months.
22:27Many of the dispersed substances are carcinogenic.
22:32Other substances can trigger kidney, heart, liver, and nervous system deterioration.
22:38Many of the
23:38The composition of the smoke and dust in the air was not fully understood at the time.
23:53The World Trade Center Health Program's Dr. Michael Crane touched upon this issue in an interview with Newsweek, stating,
24:00we will never know the composition of that cloud because the wind carried it away, but people were breathing and eating it.
24:09What we do know is that it had all kinds of god-awful things in it, burning jet fuel, plastics, metal, fiberglass, asbestos.
24:18It was thick, terrible stuff, a witch's brew.
24:23These toxic exposures have led to debilitating illnesses among rescue, recovery, and cleanup workers,
24:32and the pulmonary fibrosis death of NYPD member Cesar Borja.
24:36Increasing numbers of cases are appearing in which first responders are developing serious respiratory ailments.
25:06Health effects also extended to some residents, students, and office workers of lower Manhattan and nearby Chinatown.
25:31Dr. Edwin M. Kilburn, a high-level federal scientist, issued a memo on September 12, 2001,
25:40to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advising against the speedy return to buildings in the area
25:47because of possible hazards from various toxic materials.
25:51On October 6, 2001, Associate City Health Commissioner Kelly McKinney said that proper safety protocol for WTC site workers was not being enforced.
26:49Hopefully you'll see, unfortunately.
26:50Good morning, everyone. I'm Paula Zahn in New York City this morning.
27:01And Miles O'Brien will be joining us from Atlanta a little bit later on.
27:04It is almost 22 hours after the unspeakable terrorist incident that has forever changed New York City.
27:12You're looking at pictures of some of the rubble, what is left of the 107 Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.
27:19New Yorkers just beginning to grasp the enormous devastation wrought in their city.
27:25Some 1,450 victims are now admitted to area hospitals.
27:30The mayor says that a horrendous number of lives have been lost here.
27:34Some city officials saying those numbers will go into the thousands.
27:38I'm a few blocks north of what was the Twin Towers of Manhattan, a New York and world icon.
27:45As you've been reporting earlier, those New Yorkers who have woken up from their nightmare,
27:51which proved to be true, have gone out and gotten some newspapers and the two leading tabloids in New York City both calling it an act of war.
27:59For me, it's kind of eerily familiar.
28:02Nearly 11 years ago, I stood on a rooftop in Tel Aviv with Israeli newspapers saying almost the exact same headlines and words
28:08as Iraq attacked that evening and war started in the Persian Gulf.
28:13Intelligence is also indicating that he's now in Afghanistan.
28:18If that is the case, I think this new policy makes sense.
28:21And that is that any nation that harbors such a terrorist would also be the beneficiary of a retaliatory effort by the United States.
28:31My view, again, is that the Taliban have been playing this game, that no, we contain him.
28:40When I met with him, they said he's not perpetrating any terrorist acts.
28:44He's under our control.
28:46That is not the case.
28:47He operates in a wide network throughout Afghanistan, other countries.
28:51I think it is critically important that if he is in Afghanistan, that he be turned over, that he be brought to a swift, swift retaliatory effort.
29:02Julie, sir, you're a former DIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, analyst specializing in Afghanistan and the Taliban and Osama bin Laden.
29:10What's your take?
29:11I agree with Ambassador Richardson and the other experts that I know you've had on throughout the day that, yes, all the indicators do seem to point to Osama bin Laden being responsible for this attack.
29:25And, yes, I also agree with Ambassador Richardson that the Taliban, and as the president said, share at least equal responsibility in this act, if that does turn out to be the case, that bin Laden is behind it.
29:38That they, Taliban officials have claimed after the 1998 embassy bombings, after the coal attack, that bin Laden could somehow be controlled by them.
29:49And I think this shows, if anything, that they're working with him, that they're cooperating with him, that that's perhaps even the best way to understand bin Laden's organization,
29:58that it includes not just bin Laden and this extremist network worldwide, but it's very much helped by the safe haven the Taliban provide,
30:06and even by the assistance of some neighboring countries, including particularly Pakistan.
30:19Borders said she never recovered from the trauma of the attack.
30:23She was frightened of tall buildings and airplanes.
30:26In April 2011, she checked herself into a rehab center.
30:32But I announced that she was very dearly has Lubad-ina.
30:35The court from the front to the front to the front to the front to
30:57A week later, the news broke out about the death of Osama bin Laden, and she said that
31:02key event aided her in returning to sobriety as she felt able to move on from the events
31:08of 9-11.
31:09Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has
31:15conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, and a terrorist
31:21who's responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.
31:27Thank you very much, everybody.
31:57Borders was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August 2014.
32:09Borders' cancer had resulted in a $190,000 debt, even though she had not yet received surgery,
32:16and she still needed additional chemotherapy.
32:20Borders said she could not even afford to get her prescriptions filled.
32:23She believed that her cancer was triggered by the toxic dust she was exposed to when the
32:30World Trade Center collapsed, having once said,
32:33I definitely believe it because I haven't had any illnesses.
32:37I don't have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes.
32:42Borders died from cancer on August 24, 2015.
32:46I'm gone to T.A.
33:02T.A.
33:02Ah, stumbling.
33:04I'm a stumbling.
33:06We will stumbling.
