Thanks. I added my dad's name to the list. He was on the 34th floor of WTC 1 when that building was hit. He said there was an unreal explosion and the building was shaking quite a bit. Then they saw debris out the window and
started going down the stairwell. It took them about 20 minutes to get out. Then they started walking away and saw the other building explosion. By the time they made there way to City hall they saw the buildings beginning to
collapse. He then made his way up to Penn Station and eventually made it home. He seemed to be o.k. over the phone but he did see lots of body parts and corpses... He was also "joking" how all his tools, his sneakers, and
his monthly train were left behind. He should be able to ride the LIRR for free for the rest of his life! He's been planning on retiring by the end of the year, but this might prompt him to do it even earlier.
