Sample Book Insights:

#1 In the law office of 1 World Trade Center, Dianne DeFontes felt something hit her in the head. It was an impact, not a bomb, but she still thought it was an explosion. On the southwest end of the 89th floor, the insurance company MetLife had 10,000 square feet of space. After the initial slam, Rob Sibarium could feel every one of those square feet tilting.

#2 The 1993 truck bomb attack on the World Trade Center did not bring cataclysm, because the towers were able to withstand the explosion. Small bombs can blow up airplanes, but that destructiveness has more to do with the altitude than the bomb itself.

#3 As the two towers were rocked by the bomb, people inside them began to realize something was wrong. The elevators had been moving strangely, and now they were stuck between floors.

#4 In the police bureau at the base, Alan Reiss heard talk of a missile having been fired from the roof of the Woolworth Building, just a couple of blocks east of the trade center. As Reiss was listening to this, a Port Authority detective, Richie Paugh, arrived.
