Everyone walks away before I could tell them that the woman wanted to travel with her friends on flight 175 and that their brother/uncle had by coincidence attended a meeting at the WTC that morning despite being a random Irish guy and not a New Yorker and he’d been helping a woman who had been severely burned by jet fuel find an ambulance when the plane his sister and niece were aboard slammed into the other tower right above them.

Guess I’m not good at parties.

    Another one of the pregnant women who died on 9/11 had an office in the south tower but managed to escape before it was hit. She actually got to the ground floor and exited the building as it began to collapse. They found her body less than 10’ away from an alleyway where she would’ve survived the collapse and falling debris.

    Several people that actually made it out of the building eventually were killed by debris. I’ve heard of accounts from other people about someone in their group being struck after having made it down and out of the towers.
