First thing right off the bat no conspiracy therories or anything related (henry). If you want to discuss that make a seperate thread. So out of the Helios tell all thread I let out that I am a 9/11 survivor from the World Trade Center buildings. I promised a thread for anyone to discuss this with me so here it is. Right now I don't feel like scripting out the whole course of events that transpired so I'll just list a few things from that day. You guys are welcome to ask me questions about what I went through. A bunch of people already know some details as my experiences were discussed back on FI. I was in Tower 1 (the 1st building struck, 2nd to fall) working in the communications room. I was located on the 57th floor and it was a regular morning up until the plane crashed into the upper part of the tower. I did not know what happened at first, but got reports that a plane had crashed. At that point it was decided the people on my floor were going to evacuate. It took me about 45 minutes to get to the lobby just due to the volume of people in the staircases. Another few minutes to navigate through the lobby (sections were closed off due to plane parts, building debris, etc) and then I got outside and crossed the street. As soon as I got about 1/3 of the way down the block I was walking Tower 2 fell and everybody ran. I was one of those people you saw on tv covered head to toe in dust/debris. I eventually met up with my father (who didn't work too far away from there at the time) and eventually made it home. That's a trimmed down version of what happened. |

conspiracy theories...sorry to say this paco...but the official account (9/11 comission report) of what happened is nothing less than a conspiracy theory....brought forward by the us governemnt...and this is a fact just so i get it right: you were inside the tower for how long after it got hit? |

I don't know the exact time down to the minute and second but I believe it was around 45-55 minutes. I stayed on the 57th floor for about 5-8 minutes after the initial impact and it took approximately 40 minutes or so to decend down the staircase. |

No I did not hear any explosions, but rather lots of debris falling down the elevator shafts and possibly the vents and whatnot on the inside of the walls. I did not see the elevators as I went straight away to the staircase. We were told by the floor's director (who was an employee of the company I was at) to treat as a fire and NOT use the elevators. I have heard the same from others that were in the towers with me on multiple other floors. As a side note, fire drills conducted throughout NYC nowadays have the same instructions. During ANY kind of emergency where the people are to be evacuated from the premises they are to use the stairways. Under no circumstances are they to use the elevators. I believe this was even in place before 9/11. |

Honestly henry, its all cool believing what you believe, but this persistence with throwing these theories at someone who was right in the center of 9/11 after they have actually told you to stop several times is insulting, and shows a complete disregard for their feelings. I cant imagine how horrible it was been there. Its easy playing the blame game after watching those towers fall in front of the TV set. |

Thank you mikey. I decided to answer henry's questions since it appears he is just just looking for facts about what happened to me even though I'm sure he's looking for correlations to his theories. |

I'm in NYC everyday for work! Well 98% of the time anyway. There are a few occasions where I have to travel to one of the other offices in New Jersey or something. |

Oh and the week after everything went down I stayed home to get myself together. As you can all imagine I was quite shaken up. Many a Jack Daniels bottle went to good use. |
