I worked in one of the Towers, but had changed jobs long before 2001. When the winds were high, the building swayed, and you really felt it moving while riding in the elevators. The elevator was in two sections - you had get off and change to another bank on the 45th floor.

I still have my work WTC ID cards: several from the firm that I worked for, and one which was from the Port Authority, that permitted me special entry to work nights and W/E's when I needed to. I'm fortunate that I didnā??t stay at those jobs. While I don't think that the floors that we were on had casualties, there is no guarantee that I wouldn't have been a victim outside, or if I had been on one of the bad floors for some reason that day. People were killed by falling debris - one woman that my wife worked with, not in the Towers by in another building in the complex saw a man get sliced in half as he was running. She was a well-known financial analyst, and had to go on disability due to the experience.

A big part of one of the plane's engines, or the motor, ended up on Murray Street, about a quarter mile (a rough guess) away from the towers, outside of a loft where I guy I knew had a music business.
