On Sept. 11, 2001 , 11-year-old Magee Capsouto and her family lived in Lower Manhattan, just five blocks north of the World Trade Center.

"It was one of those days, like perfect fall. You know, you go outside, the sky is blue, you don't see a cloud in the sky," Capsouto, who now lives in the Philadelphia area, said.

Capsouto, her younger brother and their mother had walked over to the farmers market at the World Trade Center Plaza.

"We happened to be looking north, and we watched the plane barrel straight down the street and hit the north tower," she said. "There was definitely no figuring out which way was up, it was just a very primal screaming for our mom. She came running back, she grabbed us, and she pulled us and we ran across the street."
