I remember being in a 4th floor office and feeling the building sway. I can't imagine how terrifying 20+ floors up would be.

I was in the one in Seattle around 2000 on the 5th floor of a building, and I distinctly remember walking down the hall with the building swaying like a boat in a storm, wondering when the whole thing was just going to snap and crumble into a pile of rubble. Luckily it turns out they make modern buildings not do that. I've been back to that building and they still have cracks in the stairwell from it, though.
