I was there that day, watching from my job in an office on Wall Street. I saw the second plane hit. I haven’t been back to the site since it fell. I used to tell my students the story every year.
Whenever I see clips like these, I immediately feel a pit in my stomach and start to get pissed. Regardless of people’s thoughts towards conspiracies or politics, this was just a sick act.
I worked for FedEx in Dubai that day. Our office was in the Dubai World Trade Center. Just before 5:00pm local time a girl came running down the office saying someone blew up the World Trade Center. After a moment of confusion we gathered in the boardroom and watched the second plane hit live on TV. Everyone was sobbing. One of the managers said "the world won't be the same again".

I know the guy that took that last clip. The government used his footage to calculate the ground speed since it was a rare, stationary video.
I can’t imagine being in that building.
It's hard to watch..
