"After almost three weeks of exploration, engineers have completed the first survey of the seven-story, 16- acre basement under the ruined trade center complex and have found a varied pattern of destruction. Some areas are nothing but rubble; others seem almost undamaged... Since the Sept. 11 attacks, firefighters, police officers, engineers and others have crawled, floated, climbed, waded and rappelled under the trade center looking for victims, surveying the damage and looking for potential dangers. Many of their reports have made it back to floor- by-floor maps at the Mueser Rutledge offices on West 34th Street."
