What happened to the core(s) after collapse?

We all know the footage of (mostly) WTC1's core still standing right after collapse, but what happened to it after it too went down? I've been searching the hi-res photo of Ground Zero taken 12 days later, but I can't find anything that even remotely resembles a core. It's a massive structure, I would've expected to at least find some of its remnants?

Personal affects from the rubble

Did you know that about at 9:32 a.m., someone in the lobby yelled, "We have another plane coming in!" the possibility of another aircraft hitting the World Trade Center was too much. FDNY CHIEF Callan instinctively depressed his radio button and said, "Car 4-David to all units, come down to the lobby, everyone down to the lobby now." Firefighters were somewhere between the 2nd and 20th floors. For those close to the lobby, there was a good chance that at least some of the firefighters would have heard the message, yet none returned to the lobby. The firefighters did not recognize "Car 4-David." Callan had unconsciously used his call number instead of the phrase "Command to all units," which would have alerted all the firefighters that he was talking to them.

On this night, September 10, 2001

246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their next shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift of saving lives and 1 K9 went to bed a good boy 🐾🐾

None of them saw past 10:00 am the next morning Sept 11, 2001. In the blink of an eye, their lives were cut short.

Tonight, as you prepare for bed in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

September 15: Life must go on
