9/11 Survivor: ‘I Looked Up and Saw Things No One Should Ever See’

"About 20 minutes later, a sound that I could never adequately explain, began---it was like a locomotive and the loudest thunder, and it was accompanied by alarm. As we ran out of the apartment and into the street, we could see nothing---it was like a blizzard."

A survivor of 9/11 describes her descent and escape from Tower One, and the collapse of the twin towers. Wendy Lanski describes herself as a wife, daughter, friend, a senior manager, a music lover and, after 9/11, she can, unfortunately, add terrorism survivor to the labels that identify her.
