Paraphrasing Teresa Veliz

"I was convinced that there were bombs planted all over the place. Everywhere there were going off explosions as if someone was sitting at a control panel base and pushing detonator buttons. There was another explosion, and then another one. I didn't know which way to run." - Teresa Veliz, working on the 47th floor of the North Tower on 09/11.

It must have been quite scary at the towers that day. Chaos and mayhem and noise and death. Hope it never happens again.
