My fiance was living in Manhattan and was walking to work. About 5 blocks north of the WTC, she suddenly realized that all these people on the sidewalk were just standing still, looking up, and not making a sound. She looked up just in time to see the second plane hit. At the time, she thought it was just an explosion from the fire.
She immediately turned around, took off her high heels, and walked the length of Manhattan barefoot (subways were down). When she reached the corner of the street where she was staying she saw her mother out in the middle of the street yelling and crying looking for her. She yelled "I'm ok Mommy!" and they ran to each other.
She doesn't like to talk about it.
