Title

Meeting Recording 9/11, Part 2 [Archival Audio]

Description

At 7:30am on September 11th, Ginny Carr started her morning by attending a business meeting on the 36th floor of One Liberty Plaza, a block away from the WTC. She had brought her recorder to tape the meeting. After she and her colleagues' meeting was interrupted by the sound of the first plane hitting, the recorder was left rolling unattended. In this segment, a colleague reenters the room and makes a phone call, and as the building's alarm starts to squeal, they discuss what they should do next. An announcement over the loudspeaker tells people to stay in the building, away from the windows.
