Alex Angell 🇨🇦🇬🇧 :
I was in the north tower lobby when the plane hit (my family was moving back to Canada the next week) and I was only 3 so my dad had taken me to the viewing deck to just “see the sights” before he’d drop me off at daycare and he’d head to his office. We were about to leave the building when, according to dad, he ran into some colleagues in the lobby—to me just really tall people in suits so I was getting fussy. Anyways, even I remember a “rumble”, and again, according to dad, no one knew what was going on obviously and he remembers people thinking it had been some building malfunction/gas leak or even a mini earthquake. Anyways, bc I was with him, he said he wanted to get me out of there, saying goodbye to said colleagues. And again, even I remember this—it was snowing. Obviously it wasn’t snow, it was paper and ash 🥺 so I guess dad looked up and saw smoke and just started running with me in my stroller away from the building. Obviously neither of us knew what was happening and neither of went to daycare or work, and unfortunately as no one knew what was happening, a lot of the colleagues went back up to their respective offices (again, according to dad), but sadly, a lot of them never came down 😭 RIP to those who didn’t make it and much love to everyone impacted ❤️
