When he arrived on the ground floor, there was debris everywhere. Mr. Li saw his coworker Diane Fattah. "She don't know what to do," he says. "So we walk out together." That's when the second plane hit. "Like a bomb hit right on top of our head as the second plane hit our building," he says. "Big explosion on top of our head. So I saw Diane, I grabbed Diane, and I just run. I run." Ms. Fattah credits Henry Li with helping save her life that day. "I was scared, and Henry saw that in my face, he took my hand," she says. "If he didn't come take my hand, I could have been hit with debris or anything else, or maybe I wouldn't have made it out."
