Part 3/7:
In her narrative, Carmen described how her understanding of the situation evolved throughout the day. Initially, she focused on observing the North Tower, which was enveloped in smoke, and capturing images with her Sony Mavica camera. The quality of her early photos, taken under pressure and fear, was less important to her than documenting the unfolding events. As Carmen recalled the moment she saw the second plane, she showcased her determination to capture the moment, despite the challenges posed by her camera’s mechanics and the panic surrounding her.
