Dana Nelson was sitting in English class on Sept. 11 when the first plane hit the World Trade Center. She fled through a cloud of toxic dust, and returned to class a month later. This is her life now.
Dana Nelson was sitting in English class on the ninth floor of Stuyvesant High School on Sept. 11, 2001, when the first plane hit the World Trade Center. Then 14 years old, she watched from the window of her classroom with her classmates. Like hundreds of thousands of others in Manhattan that day, she fled through a cloud of toxic dust and debris. A month later, she returned to class in that same building.
“That smell. There’s nothing that matches it,” she said. “It is such a sense memory. It brings me right back there.”
