We had a couple of very anxious hours. My wife couldn’t get through to Debbie. Finally, she went to her Manhattan apartment to wait for her. And she found her there. Turns out when the first explosion occurred in Building 1, Debbie started down the stairs. She had made it to the 29th floor when the building was shaken when the second plane hit.

Roberts hosted and narrated the Outdoor Life Network’s coverage of the 2005 Dakar Rally.
