Show Notes

  • 14:18 It was very odd. It wasn't like a bang or boom it was like a big sucking sound.
  • 21:02 It was like something from the apocalypse, just what would you see on TV, people just walking, and walking and walking in a daze and the smell of the fumes from the plane, it just was a nightmare.
  • 26:14 I'll never forget and I struggle with how to remember it, because I don't want to forget, I think it's disrespectful to forget.
  • 33:17 I thought somebody's going to accidentally hit the building. That's what I thought was going to happen accidentally, not on purpose.
  • 37:17 Nothing like walking in the building, having somebody look at you like they seen a ghost.
  • 41:39 Many black people have gone through life have experienced certain things, have been left out, because the record didn't accurately reflect.
