It is hard to imagine a more devastating scene than the one still

"Probably 50-60-thousand people could have been down there when this
event happened on our trains. None of them got hurt."
(NARR:)
Nearly 5 million people ride New York's subways every day -- and on
the morning of September 11th -- everyone made it out -- evacuated just
in time.
(NAT/SOT FEMA VIDEO)
(NARR:)
Within an hour of the attack -- debris came crashing in on the
tunnels -- a 1500 foot section completely collapsed -- the ceiling
riddled with I-beams -- that punctured through the street like spears.

(teed tape 1 -- 00:30:12)
"Some of them they estimate were coming from 70-80 stories up in the air
from the building and they probably now are probably 60-80 foot through

"We have steel beams in that station, I-beams that are normally straight
that are bent, bent out and curved, (gestures) they're bowed...the
station is a complete loss."
(NARR:)
Days after these pictures were taken --- parts of the tunnel were
filled with concrete -- floor to ceiling -- to shore it up as the debris
was gently taken away -- and heavy cranes moved in above.
(1/8CG :2-line�Lee Cowan�CBS News3/8)
(COWAN ON CAM: - teed tape #2 00:43:18)
"This is the next stop on that wounded line -- a station that once
served some 12-thousand riders a day. It's now cut off from the rest of
the system -- eerily quiet -- and will likely stay this way for years."
(SOT/ 1/8CG :2-line�Lawrence Reuter�President, MTA NYC Transit3/8)
(teed tape 1 -- 00:24:05)
"It's probably nine months to a year before they finish the clean-up
work over there at the World Trade Center, (edit 00:24:08) ...and it's
probably two to three years to rebuild the subway after that."
(NARR:)
At the turn of the century, it was a laborious process -- creating
almost as much rubble as there is at ground zero.
To do it again will be costly -- the city's best guess: about a
Billion dollars a mile --and a lot of patience from riders.
