Victor, this article includes a quote from a MSDW exec who was on the 73rd floor of the south tower when the north tower was hit by the first plane.

"I was in No. 2 on (floor) 73 when No. 1 got hit," said John Hoekman, a senior vice president who works for Morgan Stanley. "Most of us in No. 2 got out before the second (plane) hit. Some of the folks here watched people jumping out of No. 1 and hit the pavement below. The tragedy is beyond words."

Obviously he got out. Though many others clearly did not, we can hope and pray that most who were below the *initally* damaged floors left immediately as he must have. One would hope that, considering the earlier WTC bombing, those working there would take evacuations very seriously.
