A haunting glimpse of Ground Zero: Doctor who raced to the scene on 9/11 reveals never-before-seen images of the clean-up after nearly 3,000 people died in terror attacks 18 years ago. When he arrived he was surrounded by debris and smoke but rapidly got to work setting up what he claims to be the first triage center on site. Over the following days, thousands of construction workers, first responders and volunteers gathered at Ground Zero to search for survivors and begin the long road to cleaning up the site, fires still raging and clouds of dust swirling in the air.
