Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was w/friends of mine, and we were getting off the escalator from the PATH train. All of the sudden people started running in our direction. We didn't know why or anyrthing. So we started running. At first I thought someone had a gun or something. I wasn't sure if I should go up to my office which was in WTC 2 88th floor. I decided not to, and just get outside. I saw my one friend and we just ran. I ran to my boyfriends office down on Broad St. and luckily, he was getting off the elevator when I walked in his building. My boyfriend, friend, and I walked to the nearest payphone to call our moms, and let them know we were all together and we were ok. From there we were going to walk the FDR to the BKLYN Bridge, but that's when we heard this sonic "BOOM!" - It was 2 WTC collapsing. Of course at the time we didn't know it, but all I knew was I was NOT walking across any bridge after hearing that noise. so we turned around and walked towards uptown. We met my bf's brother and went to eat/drink something. With no where else to go we decided to try to head back towards the Staten Island Ferry, to get to his house. We did just that. And we got home safe and sound. I just think that if I would have went upstairs, I may have never come back down. I don't know. THat was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me, and I thank god I am alive everyday. For those who lost loved ones, you are in my prayers. God Bless!
