Witness Account of Building Explosion
Il rappresentante della Croce Rossa, tipo, va lì e
dice: “Be’, dovete restare dietro questa linea perché
stanno pensando di
abbattere l’edificio.” Non hanno detto quale edificio.
Hanno solo detto che avrebbero abbattuto un edificio.
E noi: “Okay, insomma, ci fidiamo della loro parola.”
Insomma, resteremo dietro la linea.
E
lui è andato a parlare con uno dei... In mezzo a tutta quella confusione, va lì
e chiede a uno della Croce Rossa o a uno dei pompieri cosa stesse
succedendo. Immagino, non so se abbia ricevuto una risposta o no.
È tornato con la mano sopra la radio e quello che sembrava un
conto alla rovescia.
E negli ultimi secondi, ha tolto la mano e si è sentito: “Tre,
due, uno.” E continuava a dire: “Correte per salvarvi la vita.”
Correte per salvarvi la vita.
E poi sono passati altri due, tre secondi.
Si sono sentite esplosioni tipo
ba-boom. Era un suono distinto.
Non come quando la compressione faceva boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
come piani che precipitavano e crollavano.
Era ba-boom. E sentivi un tremore nel terreno,
come se
volessi quasi aggrapparti a qualcosa.
Per me, sapevo che era un'esplosione.
Non avevo alcun dubbio.

Original transcript (English)
The Red Cross rep was like, he goes over and he says, well, you got to stay behind this line because they're thinking about bringing the building down. They didn't say what building. They just said bringing a building down.
So we're like, okay, you know, we'll take their word for it. You know, we'll stay behind the line. And he went over and he talked to one of the, through all the commotion, he goes over and he asked one of the Red Cross or one of the firefighters what was
going on. I guess, I don't know if he got an answer or not. He came back over with his hand over the radio and what sounded like a countdown. And at the last few seconds, he took his hand off and you heard three, two, one. And he was just saying, just run for your life.
Just run for your life. And then it was like another two, three seconds. You heard explosions like ba-boom. It's like a distinct sound. It's not like when the compression like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
like floors that were dropping and collapsing. This was ba-boom. And like you felt a rumble in the ground, like almost like you wanted to grab onto something. That to me, I knew that was an explosion.
There was no doubt in my mind.
