content: Tuesday, September 11. What many woke up to thinking it would be just another run of the mill day at the office, soon realized that they had woke up to hell. At 8:46 AM, a commercial aircraft ran into the North Tower. By 9:03, when the second plane hit, many people were watching the news, and saw the plane hit on live television. This photograph shows the eerily intact desk with everything in order and pristine, save for the thick level of grey debris over everything.

content: New York Daily News Photographer Susan Watts was on her way to photograph the New York Mayoral Primary Elections when she heard a plane had hit the World Trade Center. She was amongst those running away from the towers as they turned from pillars of steel to pillars of smoke, photographing the entire process. She narrowly escaped as the building collapsed, and eventually avoided physical harm. Watts is currently still working for New York Daily News.
