You wake up 8:38 AM on 9/11/2001...

Sitting inside an office cubicle on the 95th floor of the North tower. You have knowledge of what's going to happen, but you only have 7 minutes to act. What do???

Prepare myself to die. Maybe eat my lunch or get a candy bar from the vending machine first.

95 floors is a whole fuckload but the tower doesn't collapse immediately does it? So you probably have even more than 7 minutes post impact. I think in that amount of time I could jump down the stairs, flight for flight.

If not, I'd atleast try anyway.

Have 7 wanks.

Bolt it down the stairs.

If I had enough proof that it was going to happen, I would tell all the bitches what's going on and that this is the last time they'll get cock. Then I'd commence the spunkfest.

7 minutes to get downstairs? You are able to easily save yourself with that amount of time. If I knew the plane was about to hit and had no time to react, I'd tell others to find a way downstairs, and help those who needed it before I made it down myself.

I probably wouldn't recognize where I was and be confused for most of the 7 minutes then I'd probably just die.

shout bomb and run. people will go crazy and follow

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN

No dude you know exactly where you are. (scenario)

Tell anyone who would believe me and race down the stairs. The towers didn't fall immediately so I would probably have enough time to get down enough floors to possibly survive if I took the stairs. I'd take this course unless I knew the elevator could make it down faster.

im guessing that their are 95 floors i would proberly just leg it down there stairs and set of the fire alarm as many times as possible and hope people get out in time

Call in a bomb threat.

7 minutes would probably be enough time to escape the impact floors. I'm pretty sure you could then just run your arse down the stairwell before building collapses.

This.

I wouldnt use the lift, but you could probably go down 4/5 flights in a minute so you would go down 43/44/45 flights in 7 minutes which means your be on flight 50 when it is hit which means that your be close-ish to the bottom of the building. Then try and get to the ground floor before it falls.

I would put the towers into invisibility mode

or possibly shout "hey, they just opened up a new Cinnabon down the road"

Run, very, very fast.

Set off the fire alarm then get the fuck out of dodge. Fuck calling in a bomb threat though, I'd be No. 1 suspect when the shit hits the fan.

I'd leave on my own and not tell any one so it doesn't create traffic and I can get out quicker and save myself.

Take the elevator down to the bottom. Then press fire alarm and walk out.

If I did the fire alarm at the top the stairs and elevators would be packed....can't imagine being able to get out in 10 minutes.

Depends how long that would take. The planes impat would pretty much destroy the elevator cables, resulting in you being trapped inside the elevator or plunging to your death. So you'd better hope that would take less than 7 minutes.

Keep an eye on your watch, when it gets to about 5-6 minutes stop at whatever floor you can and then marathon it down the stairs.

This is like Source Code

The towers were 0.25 miles high, so I reckon you could run down the stairs in that amount of time.

And you wouldn't be far from the truth.

we are all asuming its one elevator they might have several elevators that stop on diffrent floors

Run like crazy down the stairs,pushing whoever stands in my way.Honestly I wouldnt give a fuck about the others until I were safe.
