Anne Koster’s Escape from 9/11 | Tampa News

Anne Koster, just two months into her job on the 81st floor of the North Tower, witnessed the unthinkable when a plane slammed into the building—her first instinct was to escape. She called her husband Dale, who watched in horror as the second tower was struck. As Anne descended through chaos and darkness, unaware of the full devastation, she emerged moments before the tower collapsed. Dale waited agonizingly for her call—two and a half hours that felt like an eternity. Twenty-five years later, Anne still honors those lost, turning September 12 into a symbol of renewal. Her enduring message? Live each day with the same compassion and care she saw in the aftermath—a spirit she hopes never fades.
