il Padrino Ute is an unknown quantity at this point

I have a cousin who lives in Manhattan and worked in the North Tower. Her office was on one of the 20s floors. She was at her desk when the airliner hit the building. She told us that the power went out so she exited the building via the stairs. Nobody had any idea what had happened.

Fortunately, she was able to walk to safety before either tower collapsed. She told me that for her, the most unnerving sound for her was not the collapsing of the towers, but the sound of the 2nd liner just before it hit the South Tower. You just don't hear jets while on the street in Manhattan.
