It was the North Tower (hit first) that I was closest to when it was coming down, the South Tower had already came down so it was already very dark and dusty but not black-as-night as I remember when coming out of the Federal Building. I didn't see or hear the planes, but I was blocks away at that time (8:45-9:15 if I recall from secondary sources.) When I came out of my apartment I saw the now familiar image of holes in the top of the towers with plumes of smoke coming out.
Thanks for the clarification, Matt. Must have been a hell of an experience.
