Remember the World Trade Center
I remember reading this story at the time. It was one of a thousand such stories. We were all so overwhelmed. Thank you for bringing this one forward today, to remind us.
Bump.
another bump
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In 93 I was crossing Liberty Street to a lunch meeting with a client who worked in 1 WTC. When the bomb went off I thought it was a transformer down in the PATH tubes (we all thought so). I went back to my office a couple of blocks away.
It took my client over three hours to get to the street, most of that time he was struggling to move his 240 pounds on a 5'7" diabetic frame down smokey stairs. He made it but never went back to work and died just three months later after the third or fourth heart attack.
A lot of folks who survived 93 ran out of luck eight years later.
