is an Emmy-winner documentarian who was a senior at Stuyvesant High School on Sept. 11, 2001. He was also the editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, The Spectator. As the World Trade Center stood burning, Orlowski’s instinct was not to run from the scene but rather to figure out how to cover the news happening just blocks away.

We could look outside and see smoke billowing from the North Tower. When the second building fell, we were now evacuating. I was at the north end of the building, and when I was getting close to the doors, the south of the building just went dark. I was standing at the stairs at the north exit, in the middle of people running in opposite directions: everybody inside was trying to get out and everybody that was outside was trying to get back in. Finally things settled a little bit, and the buildings weren’t there.
