I'm an operating engineer, running crane in New York City. I was in the countryside, playing golf when we got the call that a plane had 1 the World Trade Centre. We checked out of the hotel immediately and started 2 our way downtown. When I got home, I called the rescue center and they told me to come 3 and get on the 4 list. |

The next morning I went down to the
5 at about 5 A.M., and four hours later I
6 the call to come down
to West Street. I called my wife and told her not to
7 me, and that I would stay in
8 with her. I took the
subway. It stopped at West Fourth Street, so I had to
9 the rest of the way.
And somewhere in there I became
10 that I was going into something I
11 . I once worked there in 1966
for the
12 of the World Trade Centre. On halfway on September 12, I was frightened to see the World Trade
Centre was a huge pile, maybe ten
13 tall. And it was burning. I started to ask
14 in which my crane might
be
15 a whistle blew suddenly warning us of some danger. I saw people running away and I really didn't know
what to do. So I did the same, too. It was as if they had
16 the bulls go in Spain and we were running through
the street. People falling down, people
17 them up as they came by, and carrying them, just to get them out of
the way, because something was extremely
18 . I didn't even look back. We stopped running when we got to
the Battery Tunnel, and I caught my
19 and said, "Oh, my God, I'm going to
20 ."
Then I settled down a little bit, thinking about what we should do next. As we started again we knocked into
a fire chief officer and we asked, "What can we do to help you?"
