Fwd: WTC

[Rono07@aol.com]

Hi Group, I parked my car inside a garage yesterday. When I exited, everyone on the street was looking at the WTC. The first plane had hit. People were crowding the streets and watching. Everyone was thinking it was a terrible terrerist attack. After a few minutes the smoke and fire began to lessen and we thought that the fire was being controled by sprinkler systems. I decided to go to my building. Just as I crossed a street in front of my office building, the second plane hit. It was unbelieveable and looked much worse than the first hit. I went up to the office (about 1/2 mile north of WTC) to make sure the people knew what had just happenened. They not only knew, but some had watched from the windows when the second plane hit. After about ten minutes word to evacuate came. Everyone exited the building with no problems. Crowds of people now were in the street watching the WTC. I thought that the best thing to do was get out of Manhattan and take a car full of people with me. It took about ten minutes to get to the car. By this time, word was comming over that the bridges were being closed. We made it to and were on the Williamsburg Bridge just as the first building collapsed. Then a few minutes later the second collapse came. That's my story.I still can't believe this happened. I know it did, but it's like I'm

going to wake up and find out it didn't. Ron
