911DA Story: Story
I am a Computer tech, I am also a professional bass guitarist that played in the WTC Windows of the World Restaurant, I was working at One Liberty Plaza on this day and I was on the 12th Floor. I was working on the west side of the building that is facing the World Trade Center. Suddenly the first plane hit the Towers. I rushed to the windows to see NYC turned into a madhouse of Fire, debris, fallen people, windows, buildings, people....people...people....hanging from the windows of the WTC trying to find peace from the fire.....
I turned to my supervisor and said that they are bombing the WTC and we should get out of the area ASAP and I ran around the floors to tell people to leave the building and go home......then an announcement came over the speaker for us to leave the WEST side of the building but not to leave the building......I went to the Internet to see if any news was on regarding the incident......then suddenly the second plane hit the WTC......the announcement NOW was to leave the building and escape the area ASAP......
I was looking for some of my friends to get our of the building.....I helped three pregnant women get to the subway safely....at this time we could not see and the place was a totaled mess.....heat from the second plane could be felted on the ground floors. Everything was disoriented and in disarray....I found the subway with these three woman and then took the A train to my sons school to go home?..there were people on the subway that had no idea that our world above them was falling to pieces and that it was indeed time to pray for God?s safety for their own lives....I picked up my two boys from school and traveled into Harlem, NY where a person gave us a ride to 125th Street near my home. When we got to 23rd Street everyone stopped to see a sight that I could never forget....it was the first building falling to the ground....I never got the name of this family that picked my and several people up on the streets that day.....but I thank Jesus Christ for seeing to my safety and allowing my family to remain. I lost several dear friends that day as well as people that I worked with in the WTC Restaurant. I am just thankful to God that I am here to tell my story.
God Bless America
America it is time for US to bless God
