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 work on the 100th floor of the Southern Tower.

I wasted no time, making my escape after witnessing the first plane striking the Nothern Tower.

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

I'm not even going to mention any names. All of my friends, there next to me were dead.

I fell down on my knees and I had a big gash, on my right knee.

I don't know how I was able to pick myself up from the darkness but, then I hear footsteps walk away from me.

It was Kelly Reyher and Keating Crown.

I called out to Kelly and grabbed his arm, "Don't leave me here. Don't leave me here."

He helped me, back up to my common ground.

Everyone was dead and motionless on the floor, it looked like.

Suddenly, I see a man in a red handkerchief, directly people from an exit to Stairwell A.

I been working there, for almost seven years and I never knew there was a doorway.

I never knew there was an exit sign there.

He just yelled ``Here was the exit,'' to go down the stairs.

My hair was singed, and my right hand was broken.

Kelly and Keating led, and helped me down Stairwell A.

There was a picture taken of me, well known from AOL, where it was supposedly taken, just moments before the Southern Tower came down.
