He was on the 47th floor of the North Tower on a conference call in his boss' office when the American Airlines Flight 11 plane struck his building at 8:46 a.m.
"I remember yelling to the people in front of me or trying to yell anyway, to get in a doorway," said Canavan. "I don't know if I even got it out of my mouth when I felt the thump, thump, and then I was just smashed to the ground like a bug. Everything went dark." "I squeezed myself through the hole. I was scraped from head to toe. I was hurt and I didn't, I didn't feel a thing."
