“I was working in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. When I heard that noise and looked, all I saw was a fireball in the window. I worked for a law firm. I was the manager of the employee benefits, so people knew me…and I simply said, the other building is on fire, you have to leave. I don’t know what I must have looked like, but clearly the message got through and everyone did survive.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Maryanne Braverman, National September 11 Memorial & Museum Docent/Survivor of Sept. 11 Attacks:
“I think there’s an internet world that puts a lot of misinformation out there, and part of the purpose of the museum is to educate…I understand that a hundred million have been born since that date here, just here in America, not to mention world wide…and if you don’t have knowledge, you will fall for lies. The people who attacked us they were a subset, of a subset, of a subset of extremists.”

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Maryanne Braverman, National September 11 Memorial & Museum Docent/Survivor of Sept. 11 Attacks:
“So I’ve had late age teenagers say, how could those terrorists have gotten on the planes with box cutters to be able to, you know, threaten and kill people, kill the pilots, take over the plane. How could they do that? And I explained to them that before September 11th, you could carry a knife blade up to five inches long on a plane. That was considered something you might want to have for practical purposes…can’t do that anymore. But it could be done then. It’s a very different world we’re in… the security, the checking of what we’re carrying.”
