While the president talks of war-- hopes are fading in New York. Exhausted rescue workers clawing their way through the wreckage of the World Trade Center have heard no signs of life.
It's also been slow-going for recovery workers at the Pentagon. Rescue officials expect it could be ten days before they call an end to the search for remains. Aleen Sirgany is at the Pentagon--which officials estimate will take years and hundreds of millions of dollars to repair. She joins us live now with the very latest. [TAKE NEWSPATH FULL]
