Hillary Clinton still has vivid imagery in her head of seeing Ground Zero one day after the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.
'We landed at LaGuardia, we took a helicopter, and we circled over Ground Zero,' said Clinton, who was a senator representing New York at the time. 'And I cannot imagine anything that looked more like the Gates of Hell.'
The ex-first lady and future secretary of State recalled Friday to CBS Mornings that she was in Washington, D.C., the day of the attacks.
