Sue Keane, an officer in the New Jersey Fire Police Department who was previously a sergeant in the U.S. Army, said in her account of the onset of the collapse of the south tower: "[I]t sounded like bombs going off. That's when the explosions happened. [...] I knew something was going to happen. [...] It started to get dark, then all of a sudden there was this massive explosion." Then, discussing her experiences during the collapse of the north tower, she said: "[There was] another explosion. That sent me and the two firefighters down the stairs. [...] I can't tell you how many times I got banged around. Each one of those explosions picked me up and threw me. [...] There was another explosion, and I got thrown with two firefighters out onto the street."
