WTC - I was almost there

[Guest guest]

I just started working at the World Trade Center last week. I was on the

PATH train bound for the WTC when the first plane crash occurred. My train

was stopped at Exchange Place, the last stop before the WTC, when we were

asked to leave the train because of a police emergency. The second plane

crashed minutes later. The building I worked in was hit first but I wasn't

there.

I was very, very lucky. I spent the next six hours on various modes of

transportation trying to get home. I talked to alot of people that day who

saw the horrific events before their eyes. On my last train home I saw the

skyline of New York City. I used to be enthralled by the twin towers. All I

saw at that point was a huge cloud of smoke. It was a horrible, horrible

thing that was done.
