After barely escaping from the 87th floor of the World Trade Center's north tower on Sept. 11, Adam Mayblum poured out his heart in an e-mail sent to family and friends.
Less than 24 hours after he wrote his account of fleeing the burning tower and sent it to about 25 people, Mayblum received nearly 100 replies - most from people he had never met.
And it kept building.
Since then, more than 1,000 strangers from around the world have responded to his harrowing story, which was so detailed that it described the smell of the smoke on the 87th floor and the conversations he had with people who never made it out. |
