911DA Story: Story

Well I was in the 70th floor of tower one and I heard this loud crash and the tower trembled, so I looked out the window and I saw that there was a humongus fire above so I started to go down the stairs. I was very scared because iI could imagine the people above the level of fire. About 15 minutes later I'm out side because Iused the elevator a one point. So then I went to this guy and he told me that a plane crashed into the tower. And while he was talking, we heard a motor and then I screamed "look" everybody was screaming. So I got inside my car and started to drive off. When Iwas reaching the bridge, I saw the south tower collapse and I just kept on driving,but with trembling hands. When I got into the toll of the bridge, the north tower collapsed. When I got home I watched the news to get more information on what happened and I could not believe what I and other people passed through.
