| Abstract | With a blanket of black smoke seeping into his 34th-floor apartment, Kevin Crafts wedged a wet towel under his door, trying to keep calm even as he became aware that his neighbors were dying. "What was disturbing was that four people had died right below me, and here I was watching it on TV," said Crafts, 40. "It was either navigate the hallways filled with toxic smoke or jump 34 flights or wait for a helicopter, which I didn't think was going to happen." Onlookers craned their necks to watch smoke and flames billow from the 19th floor, then looked higher to see tenants emerge from their apartments to suck in the fresh air. |
