Brown professor created 9/11 work as a witness

Terrorists turned planes into missiles and leveled the World Trade Center in 2001. Paul Myoda, a RISD graduate and now a Brown University faculty member, saw the surreal aftermath that night from Brooklyn.

The Twin Towers were gone; so were 3,000 people. Myoda, an artist, once worked in a studio near the top of the north tower. All he could see were huge plumes of dust and smoke, eerily illuminated by floodlights.
