Witness Account of 9/11 Explosion
Y caminaba por Broadway, a la altura de Fulton, y
de repente oímos una explosión. Era la primera torre derrumbándose.
Y por Broadway, solo se veía esta pared de escombros
que venía
volando hacia nosotros. Y nos refugiamos—yo estaba por mi cuenta.
Me refugié entre una columna y el edificio de
195 Broadway. Y nos quedamos allí probablemente…
Nosotros, yo estuve agachada probablemente unos buenos
cinco minutos.
Tardó todo ese tiempo en pasar todo los escombros, para que el aire se
despejara. Cuando me levanté, estaba cubierto de escombros de pies a cabeza.
Abrieron el edificio. Los portones de ese edificio estaban
cerrados.
Abrieron las puertas. Entramos.
Habían evacuado este edificio, que tiene unas veintiocho plantas de espacio comercial
, justo después de que el primer avión entrara en el
World Trade
Centro. Estábamos ahí dentro. Se veía. Se veía afuera.
Parecía una zona de guerra. Escombros, polvo hasta los tobillos,
coches en llamas, coches reducidos a escombros por la explosión

I took cover in between a column and the building at 195 Broadway. And we stood there probably-- We, I crouched there probably for about a good five minutes. It took that long for all the debris to come by, for the air to
clear. When I got up, I was covered head to toe with debris. They opened the building. The gates in that building had been locked. They opened the doors. We went inside. They had evacuated this building, which is some twenty-eight floors of commercial
space, right after the first plane went into the World Trade Center. We stood in there. You could see. You could see outside. It looked like a war zone. Debris, dust ankle deep, cars on fire, cars turned to spew in the explosion
