Lt. David Lim was trapped in the rubble of one of the twin towers for five hours on Sept. 11, 2001.
Like a glimpse of a woman rushing through the city wearing sneakers, her high heels in hand.
"All these women were coming down, carrying their shoes," he recalled."They were still in their sneakers. They hadn't changed yet because it was still early. It was just a really weird sight. And then, when I finally did get out, there were shoes all over the place."Collection 9/11 Memorial & Museum, Gift of Lt. David W. Lim, Port Authority Police Department
Lim didn't yet know that American Airlines Flight 11 had crashed into the building, dozens of floors above him. He headed upstairs to help, directing people down toward safety. He was on the 44th floor when he saw, through the windows, another plane crash into the south tower, sending what he described as a"fireball" toward the windows, knocking him and others backward.
