But the farther downtown he got, LaGanga, now a 60 Minutes cameraman, tried to make sense of the nightmare unfolding in front of him. As he walked from the highway toward the base of the north tower, he interviewed passersby, asking the question on everyone's mind:"What happened?" A police officer thought the roof had caved in; a firefighter thought part of the building collapsed. Even those who watched it happen up close could not process that the entire south tower, a gargantuan skyscraper of 110 floors, had suddenly vanished.
