Crazy. Always listen to your instinct.
I was going to mention this in here.The National Geo documentary on Hulu is incredible if you guys haven’t seen it.
Not sure the documentary(watched it but don't remember which one it was)
When American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower, Praimnath started to evacuate from his 81st floor office in the South Tower, but he returned when the building's security guards said the South Tower was secure, and workers should return to their offices.[2] Soon after he reentered his office, United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the building. The left wing sliced through his office and became lodged in a door 20 feet (6 m) from him.[3] Praimnath was bruised and exhausted, and covered in debris after the crash, which left him stuck and unable to escape on his own.[4]
While Praimnath called for help, Euro Brokers executive Brian Clark, from the 83rd floor, and a group of his coworkers were debating in the stairwell whether to descend through the impact zone using the stairwell, which they had been told was impassable, or to climb to the roof. Clark heard Praimnath's cries for help, and made his way to him by using his flashlight and following his voice. As Clark was on his way to find Praimnath, he looked back towards his coworkers and saw they had decided to climb up the stairs instead of going down. Because of the decision to ascend the stairs, all of Clark's coworkers were killed, except for one, Ron DiFrancesco, who reversed course.[4]
Once Clark had found Praimnath, the two men made their way to the stairwell, which Clark had already been told was blocked further down. However, Clark and Praimnath wanted to see for themselves if the stairs were really impassable.[4] They descended the stairs, and while there was debris in some spots, the two men were able to get through it and continue down the stairs and out of the building. They were two of only eighteen survivors from at or above the impact zone in the South Tower. After the two men had made it outside and walked two blocks away from the South Tower, they stopped and looked back at the building they had just exited, and Praimnath said to Clark, "You know, I think that building can come down." Clark was in the midst of replying, "Those are steel structures, there's no way—", when he was cut off by the South Tower starting to collapse.[5]
As the dust cloud from the collapsing South Tower approached them, they ran south and entered 42 Broadway as the wave caught up to them. Inside that lobby they exchanged business cards. Clark made his way home to New Jersey; Praimnath went to the hospital for his injuries. Later on that evening, after midnight, when Praimnath had finally gotten home from the hospital, he called Clark to find out what had happened to him. The two men, who had never met before 9/11, remain friends and have appeared on numerous shows and documentaries telling their story.[6]
They were FOUR minutes from being in the building when it collapsed![]()

Also there is nothing anyone could have said to make me stay in the 2nd tower after seeing a plane go into the first tower
I was just reading an article about Brian Clark's POV a few days ago. His entire group wanted to go to the roof and to avoid an argument, he went to save Praimnath when he heard the screams. Its crazy how they saved each others lives.
The human body can take an amazing amount of trauma and sometimes even in shock people have no reason to lie but I recall stories that they don’t even tell anymore like now we in this era of podcasts so you get pieces but even in books you get more. I forgot the book’s name but there was a lady who was a medical examiner during that time and she described how over time the best way to describe what happened in the towers were if someone put glass,steel, concrete, and humans in a blender and pushed the ice crush button then the next month there was anthrax scare.
There was a doc I was watching recently where a woman who looked dead and was in shock got marked as dead and told the guy she was alive and to look at her. She was missing two thirds of her body it took almost half an hour for her to die.
A lot of people died in horrible horrible ways that saying you would’ve or would’ve not have taken certain action actions misses the point they ain’t have a choice. There were people that survived the crashing of the towers but got stuck in rubble and died of dehydration days after. There were people in that same situation screaming for help that knew they couldn’t be rescued so they told people to at least remember their names. Also today we know that more people died from cancer and other illnesses directly because of that day with all the asbestos which was used as installation and fire protection that was in the towers in addition to the other harsh chemicals people got hit with. At least 100 kids were born after 9/11 never getting a chance to meet their dads.
So much of the cynicism in the country today was a coping mechanism of that day that it numbed shyt in a way that it’s embedded in us. It’s more than JFK or going to the moon. We lack the ability to have anything not related it because somewhere there’s a connection point For all the fukked up shyt there’s not much of it the whole world sees in the moment like the towers failing.
