She said that she didn't know anybody in any of those buildings, but she still felt for everyone of them. She said that she saw people jumping out of the buildings even after she started running away.

3. There was a group of people that stuck together through the whole thing. They went to all the funerals together. They said that there were more people at the funerals that didn't know the person than did. Which didn't surprise them much because they did the same thing. Some of the funerals for people that they didn't even know were sadder than for the ones that they had talked to before.
