Caseem Wongus and a friend had just wrapped up dinner at the Raising Cane's on Cottman Avenue in Philadelphia Friday night when his life would change forever. Just blocks from where he was sitting, a jet crashed into the road.

"That's when I hear the explosion, feel the vibration, and see the glass shake on the Raising Cane's window. And it was just like a big ball of fire," Wongus said.

He tells CBS News Philadelphia he wasn't sure what was happening right away, thinking it may have been a gas explosion or major car crash. But as he left the restaurant, he recalled seeing the faint shape of a person emerging from the flames.
