At age 9
Emma was at school when the both towers went down. She knew her parents, grandpa, and uncle were working that morning. Her great grandfather was the commissioner.

Mary came to get emma from school. So she was with her family because at the time they didnt know where there family members were at since they were police officers.

Jack was only 1 so he didn't know what was going on. Neither Nicky since she was only 3 years old. But emma did she knew something bad bad happened.

Emma didnt see her parents for almost three days.
By the time the third day rolled around emma was fearing the worst because she didnt know if her parents or grandpa was alive or dead.
