You have an amazing imagination. You should try doing something productive with it.
I hear a lot of movie studios are looking for writers...

Funny how I was able to call my parents to let them know I was ok. During the whole day. BTW, I was 5 miles from Dulles airport.
Probably depended on the phone company being used.
The south and east facades of the Verizon Building were heavily damaged in the September 11, 2001 attacks, from the collapse of the adjacent 7 World Trade Center, as well as the collapse of the Twin Towers. No fires were observed in the building on September 11.[9]
The building's older design utilizes thick masonry and gives the building added strength, which helped the building withstand the attacks and remain structurally sound. The building has thick, heavy masonry in the infill exterior walls, which encloses the building's steel frame. Brick, cinder, concrete and other masonry materials encase interior steel columns, beams, girders and other structural elements. The masonry allowed the structure to absorb much of the energy from debris hitting the building.[10] Nonetheless, the building had extensive damage to its east and south facades.[1] Underground cable vaults belonging to Verizon, along with other underground utility infrastructure were also heavily damaged from water and debris.[3][11]
