"At some point we
heard a roar almost like an airplane engine, but really a roar. We looked up.
The South Tower had exploded, really exploded! It was starting to come down. For
a second you don't know what to do. I hesitated. Then there was this wind that
picked us all up and started to throw us towards the buildings. I remember just
before being thrown into the building there was a police officer with us. He
threw two women to the ground to the right of me and then threw himself on top
of them in a corner of 5 WTC right by the entrance spread eagle. I remember
saying to myself that I think that is the bravest thing I think I have ever seen
one person do in my entire life."
