Too Low
Joanne's POV
By now, my meeting had been going on for a good twenty five minutes. It was a typical meeting, nothing strange or unusual had happened. Until, we felt the building rumble. It sounded as if something had hit it. No one seemed to worry, after all, it was the World Trade center and from what I heard, it could withstand the impact of a 747 hitting it. Suddenly, we heard the emergency speaker system go off. I knew then that something major had happened. I immediately grabbed my briefcase and headed for the emergency stairs so that I could get to safety. But before I could get there, an older woman asked me where the stairs were. It hit me then that a lot of people were going to need help to get to the stairs. I couldn't just run off and leave them here. So, I put my briefcase down and volunteered to help direct people to the exits. It was to be both the best and worst decision I would make that day.
Maureen's POV
Kate and I had been sitting on a bench at Battery Park sipping our coffees and chatting for a while now and I was pretty caught up in the moment until I saw a plane flying very low and right toward the World Trade Center.
"Isn't that plane flying too low" I asked Kate
"It is unusual" she began
But before she could finish her sentence, the plane that we saw hit one of the World Trade Center buildings.
"Oh my god" I gasped
Kate was so shocked that she couldn't get a word out and I had dropped my coffee in shock. What had just happened?
