Sonic Memorial: Eva Garfield Greenwich Village voicemails, 11 September

Observation

The Sonic Memorial collection includes saved 11 September voicemails in which Eva Garfield, from Greenwich Street, says she watched the towers fall, plus other WTC-building memory recordings.

Interpretation

Street-level visual of both collapses from the Village is consistent with H001/H002. Voicemail captions are not spectrograms. Binaries not in this lab.
