It was equipped with miniature IV bags, water bowls and dog food to rescue and revive the thousands of pets stranded in crumbling and evacuated buildings in lower Manhattan...

It sounded like the pilot had the throttle completely floored. The plane rolled left...
Fernando R. DeLeon ’01 was at a red light on the West Side Highway only a few hundred yards from the north tower when he saw the first plane approaching just seconds before it struck.
