Crazy how the concern at first was about being late, and then 10 minutes later nobody could give less of a damn about it. Thanks for making this video, glad youtube recommended it

[coreyrowe]

Being late saved their lives that fateful day.

[EndMii]

to any who is confused about him saying Pine St he most likely meant Wall Street Station and was going to exit the station at an exit on Pine St

[nanrichter]

Thank you for sharing your story. I am glad you were late.

One year on, YouTube found this video for us. A day everyone remembers where they was.

My childhood best friend's mom had a similar experience, but got off just in time to see people fleeing.

[kingtryton]

That’s an incredible story and I know there’s more like how did you and all the others who were told to stay in the subway end up leaving I’m sure all trains had stopped running and as we know now the buildings came down so it wasn’t entirely safe… for those who stayed or took refuge in the station as the towers came down I hope they’re still here today to tell their stories as you are

[remixdiamond]

The crazy part also is path train complex is right under the World Trade Center to 3 train we’re waiting on platform level when it happened everybody left due so by port authority police a few were still down there at time when the tower fell 1 of train set was crushed the 2 other train were already heading back to NJ empty while train 3 was waiting 2 FBI agents that were supposed to be on the train went missing during all of this

[bluemultimediagroup]

There is no Pine St Station in the Subway so it had to be Fulton St or something else

[Boypogikami]

Why’s the 1 train a B Div line with a R46

[ivandesantis]

Sir there is not now nor has there ever been a stop on the # 1, # 2 or # 3 train called PINE ST. Where TF did you get that ?

[angelmasionett]

And I still can't accept this America is to blame. Greed people
