Eyewitness Account of Building Explosions

We was in the explosion part.

We was in the lobby, and then fucking-- this, this third explosion,

the whole lobby

collapsed on us.

What was it like? What was it like?

Awful. Awful.

It was like, no, we going out.

The whole building just collapsed on us inside the lobby.

Was that a secondary explosion?

Yes, it was.

That was the final probably.

Yeah, definitely a secondary explosion.

We was inside waiting to go upstairs, and on our way upstairs, the whole fucking

thing blew, and it just, it just collapsed right by inside the

lobby.

So when was the first time it coming down, second down?

I don't know about the first one, but I know the second was, it was telling.

Then there was a third one too after that one.

There was one after that one?

Yes, sir.

When you were in the-

Everybody was inside the building waiting to go upstairs, and it, it just, it

just let loose. Everything just let loose inside the

building.

So what, what you telling me is that there was a plane

or whatever hitting the

building, then the secondary explosion.

It was like three explosions after that. We came in after the, after the fire.

We came when the fire was going on already.

We was in the staging area inside the building waiting to go upstairs.

Four airplanes hit the buildings. Four airplanes hit the buildings.

The whole lobby collapsed on the lobby inside.

Yes. This, this, you went AM after that?

I just made everybody try to work their way out.

You tried to help all the brothers get out?

Yeah. Lot of people, lot of people trapped inside.

I was sitting in the Brooklyn Navy Yard

across the river. We watched the first explosion.

Right after we watched the buildings, saw a black, very large airplane fly right

into the second building. It came at it south,

right, right in front of our eyes, just ...

It was so surreal and like a movie set.

Second, second, and third

explosion. That was our-

We were in the building for the third one. It collapsed.

I was on this drive here from

Eleanor.

People don't understand. There may be more.

No, I know.

Any one of these fucking buildings could blow up. This ain't done yet.

This is, this is where the top of this... There couldn't be no worse than this.

Couldn't be no, nothing no more. Nothing.

You're in the building trying to help people,

and there's explosions on the inside

of the building.
