subway, i looked at the twin towers i mean i just always look up there. and right when i looked up there was a boom. it wasn t it wasn t that loud. like it wasn t huge. however, it was unbelievable the amount of fire. it was a big ball of fire that just went up. i looked around at people and we were all horrified. i m stuttering because i am in such shock. i ve never seen anything like it. it is horrible. this is real cause for concern because the world trade center is one of the busiest office buildings in new york with hence perhaps thousands of workers who several and of course given the time this happened. it is only probably appropriate to surmise that people might have been in the building. and you know, we have seen stories in the past where planes have hit buildings, small planes. it would be hard to imagine that a small plane could create that kind of hole in the building
