The building shook like a Turkish belly dancer. The lights went out, and the emergency lights did not come on.
It was pitch black.
As I stood in the corridor on the top floor of the World Trade Center north tower, I thought a hole had appeared in the roof, allowing a cascade of iridescent light to tumble in. But it soon became apparent that was not the case. A gentle, twinkling hum met my ears as the light quickly grew brighter, and my skin tingled as though I’d had a brush with death.

"No, I don’t know - I mean, that’s all I have ever known! What are you even talking about – approximate gravity?"
I’ve said too much already,
said Roman. It will all be explained shortly.
We rounded a corner and entered some sort of conference room. One wall of the room consisted of a huge, floor-to-ceiling window. It looked to be nighttime outside – which
