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   36   the World Trade Centre. We checked out of the hotel immediately and started   37   our way downtown. When I got home, I called the rescue center and they told me to come   38   and get on the   39   list.

The next morning I went down to the   40   at about 5 A. M., and four hours later I   41   the call to come down to West Street. I called my wife and told her not to   42   me, and that I would stay in   43   with her. I took the subway. It stopped at West Fourth Street, so I had to   44   the rest of the way.

And somewhere in there I became   45   that I was going into something I   46  . I once worked there in 1966 for the   47   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   48   tall. And it was burning. I started to ask   49   in which my crane might be   50   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   51   the bulls go in Spain and we were running through the street. People falling down, people   52   them up as they came by, and carrying them, just to get them out of the way, because something was extremely   53  . I didn’t even look back. We stopped running when we got to the Battery Tunnel, and I caught my   54   and said, “Oh, my God, I’m going to   55  .”

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?”
