Ok, the bait is working. Let´s have the story. What did you see from your rooftop or office window on September 11th, between eight forty-five and dusk?
Hi Flabbergasted,
Here's my story:
No I didn't see anything from my roof that day. Was just giving a reference point to show how close I was living to the Towers.
I walked to work at that early hour toward Chelsea and when I got to Washington Sq Park, I looked up because other people were looking up (just a handful).
And I saw what looked to be at that distance a black smoke coming out of the 1st Hit tower.
When I got to Fifth Avenue where the Washington Square Arch is, I stopped, to watch back at the towers. I was going to add an image, but not sure how to do that yet on the forum - you could see the towers from there - honest! Old pictures show how you could view the towers through the Washington Square Tower Arch itself.
A crowd gathered there on the corner and that's where I saw the 2nd tower event - a huge fireball. I didn't see any planes, but it was still shocking. At that point, people started talking openly about what's happening, and listening to the news on car stereos - parked there on Fifth Ave.
I decided to continue on to work, and got there, but it was surreal. Everyone was in a state of alert, not knowing what was going on. From my supervisor's window, we saw the towers (not from where I usually worked).
My supervisor and I saw a collapse that looked very similar to what they show on the tv footage. I didn't see the first tower collapse, but I did see the second one. It was startling, the upward explosion of the second one and that's stuck with me through the years (and why I got sucked into Judy Wood's research). It looked as thought the dust cloud covered all of lower manhattan, and I wondered if my apartment was in that cloud too.
My boss wanted us all to continue to work that day, but that's what I was saying, it was shocking that he downplayed it. I said I was going home. But before I left, I emailed my friend and my sister because the phones weren't working.
The rest of the day is a blur, to be honest. I do remember there being a barricade at 14th street, and I had to show proof of residence, to get to my apartment. I had a friend staying with me who had gone on an overnight short trip to see friends outside the city. And she wasn't able to get back until the next day.
It's hard to explain the atmosphere of that time, but it was almost otherworldly.
I'm not here to refute anything on Sept Clues, but I do need to stay true to what I witnessed. So far, I haven't seen anything that discounts what Simon and others have discovered about the TV fakery. I wasn't down at the WTC complex that day, but did see it with my own eyes from the downtown area.
Edited: to fix that error of Park Ave to Fifth Ave - I didn't live there long enough to know it by heart.
