True Story

From a friend of the family:

"[...] has a daughter in the first bldg - she says after the first 'explosion' (they thought it was a bomb) they all began to run down the stairs - in the dark as the power was out, and it was going very slowly, and one of the men yelled to the women to take off their shoes, as they all had high-heels, business shoes. So they all tossed their shoes and ran down, and when they got outdoors, one of the nearby shoe stores was out there passing out tennis shoes to everyone, as they saw that the women were all coming out shoeless and the debris was everywhere."
