City's Manhattan borough held a symbolic vote on one of the more
contentious issues the city has faced in recent years - that is, plans

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) BARRY PETERSEN, CBS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Everyone remembers what happened on September 11. Here's the story of what may have happened the night before. It is a tale as twisted as the hunt for Osama bin Laden.
