oh i don't know
if i was on the 44th floor of tower 2 i reckon i would have been thrilled.
Thrilled to be alive, thrilled to be able to tell the story rather than become part of it, thrilled to never have to buy a drink again as long as i recount my story of the day's events to whoever was propping up the bar at the time.
