on the day that an airplane struck the building where i used to work,i was on the 25th floor filing a buisness report.all of a sudden a woman i knew shouted,"look at this!".i ran over to the window where she was and saw a plane heading towards our building,flying very low."holy s***!",i said and then i ran towards the elevators.just as i pressed the "down" button i heard a tremendous explosion hurled me off my feet.chunks of the ceiling began falling to the floor around me and one hit me on the head.then part of the ceiling collapsed and there was a big hole in the wall.i tried to open the stairwell doors but they where blocked by a dresser from a floor up above(presumably)and various other things.then the whole building started falling apart and panicked, i stumbled foward into the hole in the wall.i screamed and fell down,down and i fell into a crowd of people running away.a rather over weight woman and a security guard were who i fell on and,incredibly,i came out alive.i was extremely sorry for the guard and the lady,because i had fallen on them,but i had no time to lose!i ran far away as i could.
