Witnesses & Testimonies Of The Southern Tower On 911

by Preston Ward Condra

No one survived in or above the impact zone of the North Tower. But the South Tower? That would be a different experience. These are stories from those that survived or later succumbed, during the fateful day of September 11, 2001. I loved these stories of 9/11 and I felt like sharing them here. Viewer discretion is advised.

I was on the 78th floor in the Sky lobby in the South Tower.

Karen Hagerty was standing no more than 10 feet away from me.

Just then, the plane came in and just pulverized floors 78 to 84.

The room turned pitch black. The ceiling collapsed. Screaming yelling, everywhere in the room.

I picked myself up, somehow escaping harm aside from a bruised and I'm sure, what ended up being a broken right arm.

Karen Hagerty was dead. She had no pulse.

I managed to pick myself up and there I encountered Judy Wein and Gigi Singer.

A man wearing a red handkerchief, directed us to Stairwell A and from there, the three of us took an elevator from the 40th floor and escaped.
