South Tower Collapses 9:59 a.m.



"One of the towers collapsed!" mom said.

"What do you mean, part of it came off?"

"No, the whole thing just collapsed like an accordion."

Outside to have a smoke with the Area VP and some others.

"How many do you think were killed" asks someone.

"Could be as high as 50,000 depending on how many were able to get out, right?"

"oh my god"

"Jesus"

"Holy shit"

A very subdued conversation, all things considered.

One of the two most surreal moments that day.

The other horrifically surreal moment was the collapse of the other tower.

If I recall correctly, AND I THINK I DO, 100,000 people worked in the WTC.

It is important that we recognize that these motherfuckers intended to murder 100,000 people AT THE VERY LEAST

They would have murdered more if they could have figured out how to do so.
