Captain Jay Jonas never heard of such a radio transmission before. “ World Trade Center… ten- sixty. Send every available ambulance, everything you’ve got to the World Trade Center… Now!” “ Ten- sixty” meant a catastrophic event. Jonas got his first look at the North Tower.

Each of the North Tower floors were roughly an acre
