Akwesasne Mohawk construction workers were first-hand and close-up witnesses to Tuesday's attack on the World Trade Center in New York City.

The two hijacked planes which crashed into the complex flew right by a construction site where the workers were stationed at the 50th floor. About 100 Mohawk workers were at sites in New York City and New Jersey when the attack occurred.
