Part 6/7:
In the chaos that ensued following the building's collapse, J. Jonas's attempts to establish communication remained labored, and the reality of their entrapment sunk deeper into his consciousness. Frustration compounded as he realized that the officers coordinating the rescue operations had no clarity on the existence of any survivors in the wreckage—the North Tower had vanished in an instant.
Unexpectedly, one of the officers, Chief Nick Visconti, picked up on Jonas's Mayday call. A precarious hope ignited amongst the survivors, although the disbelief of their exact location became evident. The narrative shifts from despair to determination, as these brave souls awaited the help they desperately needed.
