Warning: Contains distressing themes, strong language, and graphic descriptions of injuries. Janice Brooks had just started her new job in the World Trade Center at Euro Brokers – she had been in New York for just 19 days. Her office was on the 84th floor of the South Tower. She had been evacuating when the second plane hit the tower. With the help of others, Janice opened the door she had just come through - the stairs were now gone. "All I could see was darkness and flames.” She remembered the noise of a woman screaming. "A horror film scream that seemed to go on forever and lives in my head for free.” Janice lost 61 Euro Brokers colleagues on 9/11. They were among the 2,977 people who died that day. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebo
