A STOCKTON pair holidaying in New York have witnessed the chaos in the aftermath of the attack on the World Trade Centre.

Alison Crake and her brother Robert, from Fairfield, Stockton, had been stopping at a hotel in New York and witnessed the huge explosions caused by the collapse of the World Trade Center.

They described police officers and the military patrolling the streets with sub-machine guns and people walking around covered in debris.

Miss Crake said: "The feeling is just sheer disbelief and it was like watching something from a movie."
