2. Vincent Forras said he wasn’t “that religious” the moment he got buried in rubble at Ground Zero, but all of a sudden, he decided it was time to be.

3. Blain Burgess said he was so shaken up, he couldn’t go home. So he found himself at Whitesburg Baptist Church.

4. Suzanne Olden said she remembers her son, Eric, bounding off the school bus on Sept. 11, 2001, saying, “Mommy! Guess what? School closed early today because it’s my birthday!”

5. Philip Hurley says he remembers thinking that nothing was secure. He was on a highway between two television stations he owned in Montana, and the moment was “a very distinct memory.”
