one of the guys that was rescued was named john mclaughlin (sp?)
he was a cop, he said he was on the 82nd floor when the building collapsed, and he lived.
that has to give us hope.

You've got to be kidding? He survived the building's collapse from the 82ND FLOOR!! Incredible! Did he or the news say how he survived? Was he thrown away from the falling rubble? I just gotta know this, absolutely amazing! Man it's nice to hear of at least one survivor!

Is he the man who slid down the rubble like a roller coaster? Some one did that, he's going to have to have his leg amputated, but he's ALIVE, that's what's important. Incredible.

Damn imagine what THAT must have been like, riding down 85 floors!!! Just the sheer height he was falling from alone should have killed him, nevertheless falling rubble weighing tons falling right along with him! Again, still don't know how he did it, a miracle if I ever heard one!

Yep. I heard the same thing on the news last night. He was repeatedly questioned by rescuers. He said that he rode the building down from the 82nd floor.

So if in the forest look behind you, because that where the ranger is going to be

The ranger looked at the place out side of the elven town near the river, he looked near the rocks, then they showed the way ....
