Panel 1
This panel is about the other two planes, Flights 77 and 93, that crashed on 9/11. Chaotic scenes of an interior of a plane dominate this panel. The near vertical fall leads to a target sight which frames an image of the Pentagon. The panel refrains from specific details because there was less visual material available, less TV airtime was given to these crashes, but also because much remains to be debated.

Panel 2
The top of the panel features the Statue of Liberty. The crown's points are in a polluted blue sky with the word ‘courage’ split across three points to read: ‘c - our – rage’. The crown has a series of TV screens with the words ‘Live TV’. One of Liberty’s eyes stares in disbelief; it is separated by the use of a strong diagonal from the other eye which is angry. Under the eyes is a staircase with a fireman's legs moving across and towards the centre of the explosion (as shown across the adjacent panels). Beneath these legs there is a change in perspective with clouds that swept through the streets as the Twin Towers collapsed, with people escaping towards the viewer.

Panel 3
The collapse of the towers has been symbolised by taking an architectural feature from the top of the buildings and combining it with the shape of an arrow. The scale of the building is contrasted with human scale. Hands are a major theme, specifically because of their proximity to the burning apple in Panel 4, and are visualised in a variety of guises. (more...) The bottom half of the panel contains a figurative scene, where a man is hopelessly clutching on to the disintegrating building, which is juxtaposed by life-size hands that are repeated as they slide down the glass.

Panel 4
Panels 4 and 6 contain the main feature of Moment of Impact 9/11 which was initiated during the evening of 9/11. The title from Roy Lichtenstein’s Pop Art painting Whaam! when divided in two became Wha which sounded like someone falling from a building and the idea of a baby crying the next morning for his missing or dead parents AM! – which occurs in Panel 6. (more...) The plane in the left half of an apple-shaped piece of glass is based on the first news reports which speculated that the Tower had been hit by a light aircraft. The top of the Towers in Panel 4 and 6 are represented in a diachroic glass.

Panels 8
This has a strong vertical band in which a repeated image of a person and a chair falls. It references paintings by Jasper Johns. There is a different rate of descent in this panel compared with the body in Panel 5 and to the interior of the plane in Panel 1.

Panels 9
A huge cloud, larger than the panel itself, descends into total small-scale chaos. A few images from the centre apple panels are quoted. The speech bubbles contain references to the Mayor, President and Father Mychal. Amongst the chaos is a larger area with images of the distinctive skeleton of the buildings.
