The photos are dramatic and tell much of the story. However, they don’t tell us about the odors, which lasted for about six weeks and penetrated all the apartments in the area.
A steady line of fire trucks, police cars, and various forms of rescue equipment–from all over the United States–rolled down West Street in an attempt to dig out possible survivors.
