Jeff was in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, working on the 104th floor of the south tower. I didn’t know that when I heard the news reports. I’d switched careers by then, becoming a business reporter for the Daily Inter Lake newspaper in Kalispell, Mont. I spent the day watching news coverage of the terrorist attacks, seeing those unholy images of the towers collapsing over and over again. It’s my understanding Jeff called his wife after the first plane collided with the north tower. He said he was going to stay inside. Fifteen minutes later the south tower was hit, somewhere between the 77th and 85th floor. He left behind his wife and two small children/ William Spence , Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Do you know someone who was in one of the twin towers on Sept. 11?
