A person managed to escape alive from the 95th floor of one of the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001. The person was inside the building when a plane was deliberately directed against one of the towers, hitting floors much higher up.

At the moment of impact, this person realized that a plane had hit the tower where they were. The description of the moment suggests there was a sudden awareness of the catastrophic situation that was occurring.

The person managed to flee the building, having described their escape as something urgent and desperate, mentioning that they "grabbed their bag and ran." The escape from such a high floor represents an extraordinary feat, considering that many who were on higher floors did not manage to survive.

The article contextualizes this story as the account of a miraculous survival in one of the most tragic moments of recent history, when thousands of people lost their lives in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
