So he took the stairs. He was at the 40th floor cursing out his boss and sweating upon belief. 
Then a huge boom was heard. That was the tower collapasing my mom called him and new he was inside. She was running extraordinarily late. Who was on the way. He said" I might not make it". After that he collapsed and hit what felt like near his breaking point. As he told me all he heard was screaming and he heard something or someone say this" Go if not for yourself for Nora. (My mom) He made it out. He ran into cops who said to him are you okay?. He said no but he asked if he could help. The man said yes. Soon after it hit him. Where was Nora? he shouted and screamed. Then the building collapsed. Smoke and smog for blocks. My mom was somewhere inside. He found her and as he said he carried her all the way to brookyln. Where she had met with her neighbors because she needed someone to talk to. My dad had walked on that brooklyn bridge into manhattan. He came back and helped evacute the south tower as hit was hit ready to collapse found a lady with a broken leg on floor 10. He carried her out.
