Were Were There, August 15, 2018

Lower Manhattan Worker Jeanette G., and World Trade Center Survivor Desiree B. share their personal stories of September 11th in the 9/11 Tribute Museum's presentation of We Were There on stage at the National September 11th Memorial Museum.

Jeanette was working in 3 World Financial Center on September 11th. She left the building after the second plane hit the South Tower to meet up with her sister who also worked downtown. She speaks of the lobby of her office building being used as a triage area, so she witnessed many injured people as she exited her building. Jeanette and her sister made it home to Staten Island much later that day.

After the first plane struck the North Tower, Desiree called her mother who insisted that she leave her office (which was on the 101st floor of the South Tower) Desiree obeyed and was about a block away when Flight 175 hit the South Tower. She walked to a friend's office in Midtown, calling her mother again on the way to let her know she made it out. The next day, when she got home, she learned that she had lost 19 friends and colleagues from her floor.
