Wow. What a stupid comment. It never ceases to amaze me what some peoples' main takeaway from some stories is.

Wow, good find, she was definitely in the first section that fell, hell she would be looking almost straight down at the area we were discussing on the other thread.

I just reported it. It would be good to have multiple reports.

Yup. Amazingly, with all that is known now from first hand accounts, engineer accounts/reports, etc. there are still people who cling to the terrorist or intentional downing of this building theory.
It will take weeks/months before an "official" report is done, but it's pretty clear what happened here and it wasn't a terrorist event.

I would have tried to step into some shoes on my way out the door, but otherwise I would have been in my robe for the duration.
To: Berlin_Freeper
She could have burnt down the building at some point. That is extremely irresponsible.

"
it shouldn’t take her 5 minutes to change out of a robe and throw on a dress and shoes. I see nothing incredible about her story."
The 5 minutes estimate isn't "just" putting cloths on.
It's...
1. She woke up to feeling something strange.
2. Got up, went to other room. Tried to close the sliding door, but couldn't.
3. Heard a crack.
4. Saw a "2 fingers wide" line in the wall coming down from the ceiling, which got wider as she looked at it.
5. Ran back to bedroom, changed clothes.
6. Ran to dining room to grab purse and credit cards.
7. Took time to blow out a candle.
8. Ran to the stairs to descend.
9. She hears a noise when she's between 6th and 4th floors. Believes the building is falling.
Waking from sleep, but not thinking it's an emergency yet, getting up and out of bed and going into the other room to try and close the slider is at least a minute, maybe 2. Add in everything else she did and that was an eternity now that we know the building was in the process of collapsing.

Who in the world leaves a candle burning in their home, in this case an apartment building, , at night while they’re sleeping?

Wow. What a stupid response. Who in the world leaves a candle burning, at night, in an apartment building while they’re sleeping? Do you leave a burner on your stove going at night?
Would you leave a candle burning in your home at night while your asleep?

A little stupid, aren’t you? Do you leave a candle burning in your home at night? Hateful? Have you ever seen the hate directed at gays, Muslims and illegal aliens here?

The actual collapse was sudden if your on your frigen balcony having a smoke at 1 AM.
Pre collapse events were indicators of what was about to happen and suddenly..
Gesh quit nit picking
