I climbed up the stairs from the "4" subway 5 minutes after the second plane hit. I watched in amazement for 15-20 minutes. I had a 9:30 AM meeting on the 97th floor in 1 WTC. I called the office. No one answered. I just turned around and took the subway home.

I turned on the tube 20 minutes before the first WTC building collapsed. My co-workers didn't survive. I was never paid for my consulting work that I had just started 9/10. It was the only time in my career that a consulting job actually blew up in front of me.

That's just about the closest one I've ever heard.
