|Updated:

NEW YORK—Firefighter Kevin Kelly was rushing to the North Tower just before it started to tumble. His chief had not realized the South Tower had already collapsed.

“We dropped everything we had [and] took off,” Kelly said. “First I got behind a car and somebody running behind me said, ‘Brother, you better run further than that.’”
