Here is a recording of a phone call before a woman’s death.
Melissa Doi - 83rd floor
The Northwestern University graduate dreamed of becoming a ballerina, and worked as a manager at IQ Financial Systems.
She called 911 from the 83rd floor of the South Tower.
Doi: It’s very hot, I see … I don’t see, I don’t see any air any more!
911: OK …
Doi: All I see is smoke.
Doi: OK dear, I’m so sorry, hold on for a sec, stay calm with me, stay calm, listen, listen, the call is in, I’m documenting, hold on one second please …
Doi: I’m going to die, aren’t I?
911: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, say your — ma’am, say your prayers.
Doi: I’m going to die.
911: You gotta think positive, because you gotta help each other get off the floor.
Doi: I’m going to die.
911: Now look, stay calm, stay calm, stay calm, stay calm.
Doi: Please God …
Let’s remember 9/11.
