"There were two NYC
Police Officers outside in the front. There were no ambulances, no firefighters
there yet. We got inside the building. There was jet fuel all over the place and
broken glass. So, at this point we said, alright there are people up there. We
have to start to get them up and out of the building and that is what we did."
"We made it up to the
51st floor...The second tower came down when we just walked outside. We got to about the curb
of Vessey and West Street when the north tower started to come down. You heard a
loud Boom, boom, boom.. We looked up and you could see the building starting to
come down....."
