Yikes!

Sadly, some of the people in that video looked like they were going INTO the areas being hit, rather than to an internal part of the building as the people in the early frames were smart enough to do.

Yikes!

Skip the next video (taking off) and move on to the third (SW80 landing at St Louis).
Check the frames around the 1m 59s mark, extreme top-right corner.
It looks like another flight is already airborne within seconds of the SW80 turning off the main strip!

(LATER) They rotated new clips in in the time it took me to type the above!
Check out This YouTube video instead.

I'm sorry but the one scene with the guy with the carry on? I would have dropped it and kept running, but you just never know what someone's going to do in a disaster.

My experience has been that I never know how I'm going to react in a crisis.
I've had guns pointed at me 3 times and I treated each case differently (and NEVER in the movie-heroic way I had previously contemplated!).
I think we all know how we think we ought (or would like) to deal with any situation, but when you get into a situation, sometimes logic goes out the window.

Chris,

Yes I know - I wasn't trying to poke fun, just point something out. I've had enough experience with earthquakes to know that human behaviors are all over the place when something bad happens.
