A tire from one of the aircraft that flew into one of the Twin Towers is cordoned off Sept. 11, 2001, in the street in front of the World Trade Center, New York City, New York. Col. Ephod Shang, vice commander of the 367th Recruiting Group and deputy director at the Air Force Reserve Command headquarters for Recruiting on Robins AFB, Georgia, ran towards the Twin Towers after seeing the smoke from the first crash to help people and photograph the events around him which he saw as a priority from his experience as a Reserve Citizen Airman intelligence officer.
