'102 Minutes': Inside the Towers
*** Excerpt ***Here is Stanley Praimnath, who worked for a Japanese bank on the 81st floor of the south tower. One of the first to evacuate after the first plane hit tower one, he was told in the lobby to return to his desk and did as he was told. By 9:02 a.m. he was back upstairs, talking to a colleague in the Midwest: ''As he spoke, Praimnath spun his seat around so he was facing in the direction of the window, though he was not staring out. . . . From the corner of his eye, he glimpsed an unfamiliar shape on the horizon. Praimnath turned slightly, to look square out the window. An airplane. It was heading toward his office, toward his window, it seemed. He could see the red and blue marking and the letter 'U' as it approached. He dived under his desk, screaming to God, as his colleague in Chicago listened on the phone and watched the television screen in horror. In the length of a drawn breath, the ceiling collapsed.''
