Reply #137: I lived in NYC during that time,

[Dorian Gray]

and I watched the towers fall from the roof of my building. I had friends who worked in the WTC and downtown, and I was terrified. Rightfully so.

At one point, as fifty people were on the roof of my building (which was only four blocks from the Empire State Building... now I live in Brooklyn) an airplane flew overhead, but it was low. Every person on the roof either threw themselves on the concrete floor or crouched down, thinking it was another terrorist plane. This was after all flights were grounded. My building was 50 stories tall.

It turned out to be a military jet, but we didn't know that at first.

We were terrified. SO, yes, I was frightened and scared. Both for my own personal safety and for the safety of friends and family who were in NYC that day.
