Be me, just an average guy living in New York City.

Get invited to appear on the Today show dressed as Mr. Peanut because of some viral video I made.

Figure why not, could be fun.

Wake up early, put on the ridiculous costume, and head to the studio.

Everything's going surprisingly well, people are laughing, taking pictures, having a good time.

Suddenly, chaos erupts. People are screaming, buildings are collapsing.

Realize it's 9/11. Witness the horror unfold before my eyes, feeling helpless in my oversized peanut suit.

Struggle to comprehend the magnitude of what's happening.

As the dust settles, I'm left standing there in shock, surrounded by devastation.

Amidst the chaos, I hear a faint voice, "Well, that escalated quickly."

Look around to see a group of survivors, including a few emergency responders, chuckling at the absurdity of the situation.

Unable to resist, I reply "Guess Mr. Peanut really brought the house down."
