The spectators gathered to watch the show, huddled in small
to middling pockets. The early morning chatter, buoyed up by Dunkin coffee,
echoed over the water as the crowds waited to see the implosion. The towers
came down with stunning precision. In a quick burst of smoke silhouetted
against the morning sky, they fell. They disappeared as if drawn inside the
earth by some giant hand. Turns out records can be set when cooling towers,
having long outstayed their welcome, are dismantled in less than ten seconds.
Then they are gone, leaving only memories of ash billowing through the air.
