Ten years away, the story resonates as strong emotions of that day and those occurrences. Here is what he says are novel set in the U.S., left Romania in ‘86 and ‘96 I settled in the States. In 2001 I worked at a company called Dun and Bradstreet, and who have registered only two months in World Trade Center, floor 14. 

I was on vacation in August-September, I was in Romania a week and a week in Austria, and I returned from Europe the night before. It was my first day at work.I live in New Jersey and to arrive in New York City take my personal car. Due to time difference, I slept very well, I was awake after the schedule in Europe and I was already afternoon, morning here, and then I said to leave early from work, I certainly things that gathered in the office during my absence. “I felt two shocks, every split second,”

I worked at this company, Dun and Bradstreet, as IT director. And I got to work, I parked the car started to look through papers, and I headed to the place where coffee machine was common, and in that moment, I felt shock. I say shock because I felt two shocks, every split second, but there were two.Initially, I thought it was an earthquake. The world began to cry, those who already had arrived at work, because it was early, and nine minutes. Anyway, I headed to my office desk and take out windows, was even on the side where the tower was hit, I was in the first tower, tower number one, and I saw pieces falling. Pieces of construction. 

Then I went to another front, the west, where Henry Hudson Street, and I looked down. I saw cars stuck in traffic, some across, police, and then I thought maybe it was not an earthquake but a small plane that hit the tower, a plane together, I thought, and probably that the pilot had a map or something like that. “Some tried to climb, and I said, not climb, descend,” I told them to go all colleagues, not the elevator, one colleague, a secretary, to hidden in the closet with clothes, I hardly convinced her to go there. Finally, I started to descend the stairs, as you descend, the smoke and the smell of burning is intensified and there were few who had to mind images of a previous accident, and those they thought the same thing, it was an explosion below. Some tried to climb, and I said do not climb, descend. Why? Because I worked as IT director, but the education I did Civil Engineering University of Bucharest, and I knew the towers were at lower central ventilation.
