Patricia Ann Puma was 33 years old and from Staten Island, New York. Patricia worked for Julien J. Studley Inc. on the 86th floor of the North Tower at the World Trade Center.
On September 11, 2001, Patricia was in the same office as James Gartenberg on the 86th floor, well below the bottom of the impact zone on the 93th floor. In several conversations on the telephone, they said that access to the exits was blocked by the collapsed walls and debris. They were unable to escape.
Patricia Ann Puma said, "The wall in the ladies room started to crack, it looked like an earthquake. The noise and debris falling outside the building are frightening."
