at that point, i had already vacated the premises, probably out of the building within seven minutes after everything started. >> i know beyond telling people what happened, you want to let people know about your friends and co-workers who lost their lives and what they were like and honor them. >> every one of those people who were killed were the nicest people that you could know. they were great co-workers and would never harm a fly. and they were responsible, great people, government workers and contractors. i just cannot believe they were subjected to that violent, hosh horrible death that they had. me, i got lucky. it was my birthday. i consider myself the luckiest one that day, and my friend was the first luckiest.
