Sara Kugler works in City Hall, on the same block where five years ago she cowered on the pavement, her jacket her only shield, as the World Trade Center collapsed blocks away.
Kugler, an AP reporter in New York, was in lower Manhattan 15 minutes after the first plane hit on Sept. 11, 2001, and she didn't leave until the next day.
In this asap podcast, she describes the horrors she saw and the terror she felt on the most difficult day of her career.
