Every year, to pay tribute to the fallen from the attacks on the World Trade Center, twin beams of light are pointed skyward from a location near ground zero on the night of Sept. 11.
The first time this "Tribute in Light" was switched on -- for a full month in March 2002 -- I took a train to New Jersey to get a better view of the lights and the New York skyline, and to take some pictures.
But I wanted to get closer -- to get right up next to them, camera in hand -- so I went to Manhattan the next night, emerged from the subway and followed the beams to their source.
As the lights are being readied for the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, see and hear what King experienced on his journey in this asap photo gallery.
