The terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001

Hospitals in lower Manhattan, New Jersey, and Connecticut threw open their doors to the injured. The two closest trauma centers to the World Trade Center, St. Vincent's Hospital and Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital Center, admitted hundreds of patients by mid-afternoon on Sept. 11, 2001, most of whom suffered smoke inhalation, cuts, burns, shock, eye abrasions from falling concrete, and broken bones.
