[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=7) What was it like? What was it like? Oh, it was like- Like hell. Straight hell ... the whole building just collapsed on us inside the lobby.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=14) Was that a secondary explosion? Yes, it was.

[0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=16) That was the plan. Yeah, definitely secondary explosion. We was inside waiting to go upstairs.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=21) We were on our way upstairs, the whole fucking thing blew, and it just, it just collapsed on everybody inside the lobby.

[0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=26) So was the first tower coming down, secondary?

[0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=28) I don't know about the first one, but I know the second one, it was terrible.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=31) Then there was a third one too after that one.

[0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=34) After that one? Yes, sir. You were in the- Everybody was inside the elevator waiting to go upstairs, and it just, it just let loose. Everything just let loose inside the building.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=42) So what, what you're telling me is that there was a plane or whatever hit the building, then a secondary explosion.

[0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=47) There was like three explosions after that. We came in after the, after the fire.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=50) We came when the fire was going on already.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=52) We was in the staging area inside the building waiting to go upstairs.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=56) Four airplanes hit the building. Four airplanes hit the building.

[0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=58) The whole lobby collapsed on the lobby inside.

[1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=61) Just mayhem after that? Just everybody trying to make their way out.

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=65) Trying to help all the brothers get out.

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=66) People, lot of people trapped inside. I was sitting in the room with the Navy Yard across the street from it.

[1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=71) We watched the first explosion. I even watched the building, or a black, very large airplane fly right into the second building.

[1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=77) It came out of the south. Right, right in front of our eyes. Just, it was so surreal, like a movie scene.

[1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=85) The second explosion, the third explosion, tell us about it.

[1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=87) We were in the lobby for the third one. It collapsed.

[1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=91) It was on the side here on the other one.

[1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=93) People don't understand. There may be more.

[1:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=95) Any one of these fucking buildings could blow up. This ain't done yet.

[1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=99) This is a rescue work operation. There could be no rescue in there.

[1:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/XmfGOzlSbQbI/en/9-11-witnesses-describe-explosions-and-lobby-collapse?t=102) Could be-- nothing, no more to rescue. We're in the building trying to help them, and it's exploding on the other side of the building.
