8:46 am, 9/11/01. That is when the first plane hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center. People were inside either getting ready to start their workday, working their workday, meeting, etc. Little was understood by those inside exactly what had happened. Their only thoughts were to try to get out of where they were and get out of the building.
There were also people in the South Tower who had no idea about what had happened just a short distance away.
9:03 am, 9/11/01. A second plane hits the South Tower of the World Trade Center. More people unaware from their offices of what had occurred.

This book gives names and instances to something that appeared to be a tragic movie, although it was not a movie. We come to know some of the people who survived and others who didn't.

Let us never forget all that were lost in this tragedy. Government, businesses, fire, police, etc all need to recall the devastation of this tragedy and work to remedy the issues that were faced in trying to save people on that day.

A really good, can't-put-it-down book. Made you feel like you were right there, and seeing people make decisions that resulted in them either getting out of the towers or ending up dead was intense.

After reading and seeing many videos on "conspiracy theories," this book has finally put my mind to ease. This book is a factual account of the 102 minutes it took both towers to fall, and there is no mention of "strange unexplained things" happening...the towers were just uniquely vulnerable to a plane hit by their unorthodox design and construction techniques.
