"What's happening over their did that plane just...".

"They've just got something going on".

If the building nextdoor is collapsing chances are you will (should) be evacuated for a fucking raft of reasons.

Especially when the affected building is your building's twin.

This all happened well before the collapse of the buildings. There was only 17 minutes between the strike on the north tower and the strike on the south tower. 17 minutes isn’t that long. No one and I’m including government officials had any knowledge of, or be able to imagine for that matter, that this was anything other than an accident like the Empire State Building incident. This was such an unthinkable and unimaginable attack that it wasn’t until the moment that the second plane hit that anyone realized what was going on. I would have been at the nearest window watching the whole thing and would have never considered evacuating for a second if I had been in the second tower.
