An artist describes how she escapes from the North Tower during the 11 September 2001 attacks in New York. She says she was able to leave the building as events escalated.
Multiple outlets report that the artist, Vanessa Lawrence, was in New York for an artist residency when the attacks occurred. The accounts focus on her personal experience of getting out of the tower amid the wider chaos of the day. While the outlets share the central details of her being inside the North Tower and later recounting the escape publicly, they differ mainly in the amount of background they provide and in how prominently they frame her current work or public speaking about the event.
