Q: Another great New York institution for which has never stopped writing is The New Yorker.
A: They publish things that no other magazine would dare to make. I have always worked with them. When years ago named their current manager, David Remnick, a young journalist for whom I have enormous respect, I called to say he had me. I wrote a story about workers who had participated in the construction of the Verrazano Bridge, which connects Brooklyn to Staten Island.
Q: What prompted you to return to an issue that had dedicated a book for almost 40 years?
A: In my opinion, even if published, will never get to close really no story. There are always loopholes that lead to other stories. If you go back to something written 10, 20, 30 years, always discover amazing things, and that's what I came up with this story. I published The Bridge in 1964, while still working for the Times. I had two days off a week and engaged in collecting material for the book. He went to the place where they were carrying out construction work, often at night. You've seen how the bunker, I call my studio. Here I have everything filed in boxes. One afternoon, as the year 2002, I noticed on the label that says the bridge and wondered what had become of the workers who built the Verrazano, with whom I had interviewed many times. I opened the box, I began to review the notes and decided to make some phone calls. What had once the construction? Turns out many were hired to build the World Trade Center. I'm talking about specialists in building metal structures to great heights. They belong to a union taking care of their engagement in major public works. And what they felt when they saw the result of their work was gone in just a few hours when the attacks took place September 2001? Your answer was disarmed. The destruction caused not the slightest surprise. But how is it possible, I asked. What do you mean by that? We knew what was good for nothing, it was a solid structure, the towers were made of air, were birdcages. Nothing to do with the structure or Verrazano formidable as before skyscrapers, the Empire State for example. These structures have withstood the impact of a plane, but when we build the Twin Towers knew that this was very different. It is not just that the architect was not very good, but of the philosophy on which was based the idea of the World Trade Center. All they wanted to do was maximize space promoters, rentabilizándolo to obtain the higher profit margin, renting surface as much as possible. So when the planes hit the towers, crossed from side to side and before the sun had collapsed, turned into columns of ash and smoke.
