I think alot that didn't get out were the ones told to go back and the ones above the fire

My cousin missed the elevator.....he worked on the 70th floor.....he ran like hell when he heard the first sonic boom!!!!!

Simply Incredible . It truly is . Bless all of them !

[classygreeneyedblonde]

I am glad that he made it out

[VaBthang4]

It really was God's grace...

It could've been so much worse.

They can't say God wasn't there that day

Nephew of a woman at church was due to be in a meeting above the 100th, slept through a subways stop, had to reverse travel, hit the lobby just when plane one slammed in, found an exit, got out. Praise God!

He was Meg , And thank you for this post . I appreciate you bringing this to other's attention . mine also -).

Yes, it could have, but watch and see if the media doesn't use this story and others like it to start telling us that it "wasn't all that bad" and we should stop bombing and going after terrorists. (After all, they were probably underprivileged and misunderstood, no doubt!)

[Ben Bolt]

Bump to share stories !

and the urgent reaction of workers, many of whom had been through the earlier attack.

I daresay that, leaving aside those folks vaporized upon the impact of the aircraft, the majority of those who were killed were the ones that "obeyed" the order to stay put.

[geege]

Wow.....he must be thanking his lucky stars like my cousin

[Dan from Michigan]

That is great. As unfortunatly as the attack was, it could have been much worse.

[operation clinton cleanup]

I have heard so many stories about people who survived because they were late for work that day. Not sure what that means.

[geege]

Yea he ended up with cuts and bruises all over his legs from falling while he was running.... practically ran home to NJ.....

[No!]

"They can't say God wasn't there that day"

Angels, too...

Thank you for posting this...

[Ben Bolt]

It's an invitation to share the positive . The good things that came from that date . Goodness knows , there is plenty of negative .

a neighbor of mine was on the 28th floor of the first tower and got out, however the trauma remains. people didn't panic, perhaps they were in shock, maybe they were lucky, but one thing is sure.....there were rescuers who selflessly guided people to safety. that's why the casualties are so high among the firefighters, police, etc. it could have been even more catastrophic than it was. and don't let anyone forget, this was an outrage against america and everything we are.
