We said, yes, sir. We grabbed our stuff. Everybody started grabbing. I grabbed towels and I started giving them to people to put over their heads to cut through the smoke so they wouldn't breathe in the smoke.

No. No, man. We were literally, he kind of, he had him and a couple other guys started leading us in a line. And we were, we were, we were being led to the FDR, which is on the east side of Manhattan. Yeah. And so I grabbed my two clients.

I haven't talked to him in years, but I hope he's doing well. He was really nervous, great guy. And I grabbed him and I grabbed this other client of my name, Marlena, and they didn't know what to do because they both lived in New York and they had basically sealed New York from 34th street down. You couldn't go anywhere. So I said, look, I lived in Hoboken.

So I said, look, and everybody was being evacuated to Hoboken and Jersey City. They're the two cities on the west coast of Manhattan going west. So all the ferries were there. They were bringing ferries from Connecticut. And so they were basically ferrying everybody from 34 down all the way across to Hoboken, New Jersey. So I grabbed them. We left. We went through the smoke.

I remember walking on the FDR thinking, this is what it must be like to be a refugee. I mean, this has to be like it. I mean, we were walking with towels. No one was talking. We were all just walking up side at FDR, silence. You would hear crying in the back. you'd hear some yelling and screaming, but for the most part, everyone was just marching, marching up.

We were going to a spot to get on the ferry, to go back to Hoboken. Um, I grabbed my clients and that was the first time I saw Manhattan without the, without the world trade towers. Cause we were on the Hudson river. And so we were seeing things from the TV. We saw the towers come down. Um, But we didn't get a perspective until we got on the ferry, until we were on the Hudson River.
