By the time Court Officer Mitchel Wallace saw Mary Jos on Sept. 11, 2001, she had shrapnel embedded in her body and heat burns on her back, left arm and hands. Working in a makeshift triage at the South Tower's base on Church Street, Officer Wallace bandaged Ms. Jos' wounds and prepared to get her to an ambulance. Officer Wallace had a "calming" effect on her, Ms. Jos said. As he cut her pant leg to get to the wound, she told him how much she liked those trousers. "There will be lots of sales, don't worry about it," Officer Wallace told her. Moments later the first tower collapsed. Officer Wallace did not survive.
