The Truth:
This is a true-life
account.
Sujo John has shared his story in numerous settings and now on his web
site at www.sujojohn.com
A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet:
Dear friends and family,
" Rejoice for the steps of a righteous man is ordered of the
Lord.." Even though darkness surrounds us and death looms all
over us. The peace we have in the name of the Lord....that sweet
name of Jesus. It's a big miracle that I am alive this
moment.
Most of you know that we used to work in the World Trade Center in
Manhattan. I used to work on the 81st floor of WTC One and my wife
Mini on 71st floor of WTC Two. Let me tell you what
happened.
I reached my work at 7:30 in the morning. I just faxed out some
documents and was returning to my desk and I heard this real loud
explosion..our building shook and tilted... screams went out
all over our floor..the first aircraft had hit the floor above us.
Soon debris from the aircraft flew into our office and everything
started going up in flames. Everyone held their calm and we
started making our way to the stairway. That moment my heart sank as
I had no clue if the plane had hit our tower or the one my wife was
working in. She is about to enter the building as she starts work at
9 in the morn.
We were all being evacuated through the stairway...my cellphone
would not work so I had no idea to reach my wife. So as I came down
I entered an office on the 53 floor and tried to make some
calls...the only number I could reach was my cousin's wife who lived
in Queens, NY. I told her that I was fine and that I am coming down
the stairs..but I was really worried about my wife, then I continued
my run down the stairs. While we were going down there were hundreds
of firemen and policemen going up to rescue people trapped. These
brave men will never make it to their homes. So they
escorted us thru the exit of World Trade 2 and I had just reached
the revolving door of the building that I heard a loud explosion and
the whole building collapsed. Would u believe that my friends..the
110 story building collapsed and I was at the door of the building
with everything flying over us, boulders, mortar. Few of us huddled
to one end of the building and God gave me this strength that saw me
thru..I started pleading the blood of Jesus..told the people around
me that all of us were gonna die and if there was anyone who did not
know Christ to call upon his name. So everyone started crying..Jesus!
When you are near death believe me some people are so ready to
accept our Jesus.
By then the whole building had fallen and we were in the debris..not
a single boulder or any material fell on me. I found myself in 3 ft
of while soot...I got up...by then there was silence..I could see
dead bodies all over. God directed me to a guy on the ground who had
a search light on. I picked him up...and said only Jesus can save us
and that we had to live. When he was up I saw this
jacket which had FBI written on it. We held our hands...and started
walking thru the rubble.. that flash light saved our lives....we
could not see anything miles..it was like a snow blizzard..
all the concrete and ash flying allover. The Holy Spirit then showed
me a light flashing on top of an ambulance so I told this FBI guy
that light was where we had to head to cause that ambulance was on
the street. We somehow made to the ambulance which was hit badly by
the flying mortar but God had kept the flashing light on just for
me. From there on it was quite easy making our way
out.
But the feeling that gripped was that my wife Mini who was to be on
WTC 2 she should be dead. All kinds of images went thru my
mind.. Crowds started running from all over downtown to safer
places far away from the skyscrapers. We ran, walked for an hour
and throughout the whole time from 8:45 am when the first plane
landed I was trying to use my cellphone to no vain. 12 pm and my
cell rings...it was Mini and she said she was alive and when she
heard my voice she realised that I was alive. This is another
miracle of how I received this call as anyone was able to make or
receive calls. Mini had not made it to the Tower..her train reached
the site 5 mins after the first crash so she did not make it to the
Towers. She was hysterical on the streets thinking I was dead and
she could see people jumping out of the building. Both
of us were alive. She reached 39th street in Manhattan near the
Ferry and somehow I reached there. We looked back and could see our
building both in ashes all that remained the smoke going up. I
cannot explain the sense of relief that we had when we saw each
other. Both of us were so close to believing that we would not see
each other. When that explosion took place and the building was
crumbling over me I could see the pics of my wife, my parents,
grandmother loved ones flash thru my mind and now what a relief that
we are alive.
God is so good. This story of our is too good to be true. I have no
scratch on my body. Let me tell you something friends God knows the
count of our hair and our God never sleeps or slumbers. His
coming is so soon . Live each Day as if He is coming today.
Appreciate all your prayers. Many from all over the world have
called us. My heart goes out for thousands who died in our building
many of them people we knew. God Bless you
all. Sujo & Mini
