I am always fascinated with all the stories from 9/11. I've watched and listened to many of them recently and I cannot imagine how scary it would have been being in those buildings. I live in Northern Ireland which might aswell be a million miles away but these stories still hit me really hard. Thank you for sharing your story.

My dad took me and my brother to the top one Sunday when we were visiting NYC. I think he had a fascination about it and wanted to visit the top. I recall it was kind of a ghost town on a weekend and that the building was so tall it took 2 sets of elevators to go to the top. My dad who was a physicist told us that the twin towers were so tall that they proved the world is round. The distance between them was wider at the top than at the bottom. Wrap your head around that. My dad is gone now but I’ll never forget that day. These stories are still compelling. Still I think of those that perished that day. Those fire fighters that had arrived later and paused at the base of the second tower survived the collapse of the second tower. It was a miracle.

My ex-huabsnd is a physicist-chemist with a Ph.d from a fancy university. I never understood anything he said. He once told me that a thermonuclear bomb (part of what he studied to get his doctoral degree) "has more energy in it 3 seconds after exploding than all the bombs used in WW2, including the two nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima & Nagasaki."

Thank you Andy. I am so grateful for all the stories shared through the museum's content. I hadn't realized how much I needed to process this sorrowful incident in our nation's history. Again, thank you to all involved in the effort of remembrance, healing, and renewal.

Many interesting details, new school year, Election Day, after Monday night football. Many different variables for people that day

What's behind the sheet...?!

[@benlowry9357]

Thanks for this Andy. You say that you were working as a lawyer. Were was your office? Also, you say that at the subway station the woman ran screaming towards the train - was that Cortlandt Street station?

I've never heard anyone use the "twenty-oh-one" phrasing for a year in that decade before. Interesting.

Guy absolutely loves the sound of his own voice.
