There was a woman on This Morning the other day who was on the 84th floor and ran down the stairs (probably over 160 flights of stairs) and it took her 80 minutes. About 5 minutes after she got out, the tower collapsed. It was the one that was hit higher up, I'm not sure which is north/south

I couldn't begin to imagine the absolute fear going through her then - can imagine the adrenlin surging through her body and her literally running down, grabbing rails to stabilise her at corners with sheer panic/terror - with the brain just shouting, "Keep running, come in, get out, get out".

Poor woman, but fantastic that her quick response got her out.
