Sister had to walk down 33 flights with just the emergency lights, run through that horrible gray cloud and get literally lifted over a railing onto a boat in the Hudson and was let off in Jersey City with her purse and thankfully cell phone. I was talking to her while she was still in the apartment as the buildings began to fall. The cell tower fell too so lost contact. I finally heard from her hours later at a Bonanza Steak House (she is pretty much a vegetarian so we laughed about that). They let everyone wash as best they could, then somehow the whole group walked back across the bridge to Manhattan where she found a place to stay. I called my mother, who was in Connecticut, and someone contacted my other sister in Portugal or France where they were visiting family. A very scary day, and then the reality of what had happened really set in. She couldn't even get into her apartment for weeks. She said she saw some pretty hideous things that day.
