PETER JENNINGS, anchor:
There are a great many
missing in New York City and ABC's George Stephanopoulos is downtown where he
has been all day. Here's his report on the day and the search for the missing.
George:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS reporting:
That's right, Peter. I've
been walking. Now, you've talked about people walking aimlessly through lower
Manhattan today. It's really a separate city of 285,000 people, and I would say
it's divided into three zones. You're only allowed below 14th Street if you can
show you live there, or you have a legitimate work reason to be there. And the
area above Houston Street is like a pedestrian mall. There are a lot of
inconveniences. You can't buy newspapers. Some of the stores are closed. But
the parks are filled, people are walking around, and it's basically working at
some level. Then, of course, you come to the right side of ground zero, which
is just a rescue--search and rescue operation. The Lower East Side is kind of
interesting, and I hope we can pick up the video here. I was carrying this
little camera. It's an area now near
city hall that looks like it's been hit by a neutron bomb. All the buildings
are intact, but the place is abandoned…….
