Hi. I have a number of stories, actually. I have a co-worker who's wife works in one of the upper floors of the world trade center. She gets to the WTC station from the subway everyday to go to work. However, on 9/11 she found an ols friend on the subway that she hasnt seen in years, and began talking to her long enough to miss her stop, and she ended up in Brooklyn. Knowinmg what happened, she immeiatedly went across to the other side of the subway to get back to the WTC station. This happened to be the time that the first plane hit. When she arrived at this station, hundreds of people came running down the subway steps. Hearing what had happened, she went back to Brooklyn and watched the towers fall from there. Her freind had saved her life.

I have a friend who worked in the financial area of NYC. He was working when this tragedy happened, and ran out of his office and ran over to the river. From there he was escorted by boat to NJ, and rented a taxi to get back home.

I'm not related tothis person (heard on news) but the owner of a large company on one of the floors in the 100's was late to an early meeting because he had to take his child to school. This saved his life, as he later discovered that EVERY employee in his company were killed.

Those are just a few stories I had Email me at seg1985@home.com
