I am glad that those planes were not carrying anything atomic, or we would be mournig you loss right now!
I am glad you were not hurt, and thankful to your brother that he helped calm us down yesterday, when we did not know anything about your situation. ------------------ Father of the wicked but cute child known as MaryBeth Padre de una niña bien traviosa pero guapa --------------------- Aisukuríimu ga tabetái desu. |

Thanks Nick, Moni.
I didn't write that the apartment with the view got evacualted. My mother called them as they were leaving. They got caught in the cloud as the second building (WTC#1) collapsed. Mum, Dad, two kids. Part of me wishes I could have helped them, but then I know that had I been that close, the inquisitive me would have got closer to have a look. They are all safe on 25th street now. Thank God. ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on.... A fair dinkum laughing Hyena! |

Milamber, Larry, Cheers!
Larry you are so right. Very sobering thought. In the event of Nuc. war this is a prime target. ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on.... A fair dinkum laughing Hyena! |

Oh I didn't see this thread Yorick until just now. You and Cloudy were the first people I thought of when I heard the horrendous news re the WTC. We were all very grateful that Leonis posted to tell us that you were OK. But I must say I still worried how you must be taking it all. I can't imagine what it must have been like to see that happen right before your eyes. Seeing it on TV was bad enough. I have been upset and horrified all day yesterday, and still today. What finally broke me and put tears to my eyes was watching people singing "God Bless America" last night, dunno why, it just really did it for me. Again, so happy to know you are OK, and it was very generous and kind of you to offer to help out and give blood to those wounded and in need.

What got me.. was the rescue workers. The horrible conditions they have and several hundred of them have died already, while trying to save lives.
And last night, I cried all night after seeing the scenes of bodies wrapped on office chairs because there weren't enough stretchers. My God! The sheer overwhelming horror of it all is too much to take in large doses.

YORICK!!!!!! *Giving you a big bear hug!!!*
So glad to hear you are safe! I read the post from your brother yesterday, but I think we all were waiting to hear from you personally. You and Amber were the very first things on my mind when I first heard what was going on. I think my response was like Slackerboys. I saw both buildings fall live on the news, and my first, and just about only feeling was blind rage. Watching it over and over on the news filled me with horror and shared pain. I read your post though, and the tears flowed. Glad to know you are OK. Nachtrafe ------------------ "That looks pretty fatal. I think you have to return to the Character generation section."

Yes, bless you, Yorick, and God bless that you are safe. Your account was the most moving that I have read yet...you made it "real." You can't get away from it being brought home like that.

You have my utmost sympathy Yorick, I really mean it, by the way, were you on the news? Someone said something VERY similar to what you said, saying it in much the same way.
