Presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani has been making fund-raising appearances in his home turf, New York City, but he’s been hounded by reporters and protesters questioning him about the 9/11 attacks.
A radical group in the Bronx accused him of being one of the "criminals of 9/11,” according to local radio station 1010 WINS.
One young woman who claimed she was a relative of a 9/11 victim confronted the Republican candidate outside a Bronx restaurant and asked him why he told [former ABC news anchor] Peter Jennings the towers would fall that day, but allowed the rescue efforts of firefighters and police to continue. She asked Giuliani: "How do you sleep at night?”
Giuliani told the woman he never said what she’d claimed. Then another protester interrupted Giuliani with the same allegation about the comment to Jennings.

"I didn’t realize the towers would collapse” when they did, Giuliani replied, saying he’d meant the towers would collapse after many hours.
"No one that I know of had any idea they would implode,” he added. "That was a complete surprise.”
