These photos were taken late in the day on May 2nd 2006, the day that the heart and Soul of GTW burned.

Looking South on West Street. You can see the front of the building has collapsed.


The Skywalks across west street would be taken down as they were in immediate danger of collapse.


Smoke blurs the view of manhattan.


Looking West on Oak street - the column of brick was once the corner of the building.


Well past 12 hours since this fire began, a fresh ladder crew arrives at oak street to take a shift dosing the still burning debris with water.


May 3rd, the pile still steams...
