At what point did the building start collapsing?
Can you explain how in the world you managed?
To survive when the North Tower collapsed on top of you, you were on the fourth floor.
Could you just describe what you experienced as the tower collapsed on top of you?
Were you shocked that you were alive a after the collapse was over?
How did you get out?
Oh wow, you mean you're saying like but at this point the fourth floor was like the top floor 'cause everything had cna collapsed beneath you?
So you climbed out through what had become the top of the World Trade Center?
So when you escaped the collapsed Tower of the World Trade Center, did you allow yourself to experience the elation of surviving?
Or were was your heart too heav heavy in knowing about how many people had not gotten out of those towers?
You say in the book that you don't like it when people say to you, You survived because God was with you.
Why don't you like it when people say that?
I take it he did not survive.
When when you got to ground zero right after the towers collapsed, you first um started trying to put out the fire in building seven.
And then you had an instinct that it was gonna fall, so you you
Walked away and it did.
It did fall.
And then eventually what you took on as your work was
Looking for the remains of people who had been trapped in the towers.
When you started doing that job.
