"I begin to feel the ground beneath me shaking and then I feel the whole entire building is violently rocking around. And I make the decision that the visitors need to get out."
“我开始感到地面在晃动，而后整栋建筑都在剧烈摇晃。我立即做出决定，游客必须撤离。”
Ranger Williams yells for the visitors to run down the stairs as debris begins to fall on them."I don't know if it's an attack, I don’t know if it's an earthquake. At the next level I throw open the emergency exit door and they all begin to evacuate out."
Williams大声喊叫着让游客沿着楼梯下去，而碎片已经开始砸落。“我不知道是有人袭击还是地震。在下面一层楼我打开了紧急出口，他们开始逃生。”
Engineers will conduct a block by block inspection of the monument's exterior over the next five days.
未来五天，工程人员将逐一认真检查纪念塔的外部。

"We actually have pictures of all the individual stones on the exterior," Williams said. "And so what they are going to be doing is taking pictures and examining the stones now to find the extent of the cracking on the outside since the earthquake."
“我们拥有纪念塔外部每一块石头的照片。他们将要做的是为所有石头拍照进行检查，查找地震以来建筑外表出现的裂缝的程度。”
The Park Service says the damage survey will give it an idea of how long the monument will be closed and what the total cost of repairs will be. The good news is - one of the nation's most treasured monument is structurally sound.
公园服务处表示，对损害的调查将决定纪念塔关闭多长时间，总的维修费用是多少。好消息是，国家最珍贵的纪念塔之一在构造上是非常坚固的。
