Thierno Diallo
Thierno Diallo  59  a security guard originally from Conakry  Guinea  who lives in a ground floor apartment  said  he  was asleep when  he  heard banging on the door. It took  him  a moment to realize what was happening.
"Only when I heard people screaming  'There's a fire in the building!'"  he  said. "I heard somebody  'Oh! Fire! Fire! Fire!'"
 He  ran outside in  his  bathrobe  jacket and sandals.
Kenneth Kodua  37  said  he  left  his  apartment to get food  leaving  his  roommate behind  and came back to find people fleeing in a panic.
Hours later   he  was still trying to find out whether  his  roommate had escaped.
"I tried calling her. I tried calling. No answer "  he  said  still clutching  his  bag of uneaten food.  His  phone was dead.
