I was home getting ready to go to the Boat at Shreveport for a couple days of gaming. Had te TV on and watched from the onset when the first thought a large fire. With my experience as a 30+year vetern of the DFD this was horriable when I first saw, thinking it was a fire abofe the 70th floor. I had an experiencing a high rise on the 28th thru 30th floor here in dallas several years ago and that was a hair raising experience with no elevators. When the second plane hit , even with my training , I could not comprehend a plan of evacuation, Evwn with all the mistakes that were made the Evacuation of and saving of 30k ives was the major thing that happened.The loss of life was bad but the possibility of much greater devastion was my fear. Just think if you can master 1 floor a min. What a great job of evacuation of the buildings this was under the most trying conditions. What a tragady but what an accomplishment.
