目撃者が語る建物付近のカウントダウンと爆発音

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.
