September 11 Digital Archive Emails

This is a poem my 14 year old daughter wrote about September 11th:

THE BRAVE

BY: LINDSAY MEDNICK

LOOK AT THE WORLD AROUND US
LOOK AT ITS CRUMBLING WALL
BUILDINGS GOING DOWN IN FLAMES
WITH IT WILL OUR UNITY FALL

WILL WARS GO ON FOR DECADES
OR WILL…

But literally going to a world of human wreckage. I was not one of the Medics killed at the scene.
I appreciate the phone calls and am sorry I can't return them because long distance is out (guess where the tower is).

Just keep me and my coworkers…

Almost a year later, I still feel very sad, and I am conscious that no words could ever express the tragedy that happened. America showed the world their courage and outstanding determination in recovering from the tragic events. I pray for nothing…

Dearest RAch,
Thank goodness we can stay in touch by email. As long as you have this communication, you will not be scared. You are safe
and surrounded by people. Don't hesitate to have face time with another BonWitter, just to stay connected. I will…

For anyone who is trying to get through and call, I am alive and okay. I was right outside the WTC when the first bomb/plane exploded.…

yesterday subways stopped at 42 St; today all the way to Bklyn Bridge (I'm at 34th St). Still no traffic going by Empire State Bldg, which is causing massive honking, etc., outside my window. And long checkin lines in the rain to ES, but…

Jim,

Thanks for the great article and your concern. My office is -- or was -- in
1 World Financial Center, about 11 yards accross the West Side Highway from
the South Tower. In fact, every morning between 8:15 and 9am I walk through
the Trade…

What to do with Osama bin Laden:

Killing him will only create a martyr. Holding him prisoner will inspire others to take hostages to demand his release. Therefore, we should do neither.

We should covertly capture him and have surgeons quickly…

Tim was not in a meeting at the Pentagon when the plane hit. We are OK and our house is far enough away that it is OK. Please pray for all the people there and at the Twin Towers.

I want to thank everyone for the wonderful calls and prayers yesterday. I
was glad to see that none of you were hurt in the horror of yesterday's
events. While I find it difficult to deal with the things I saw just 20
blocks away from me with my…

AARP, along with the rest of downtown DC was evacuated at 11:30 yesterday morning. David and I and two co-workers walked home (8-9 miles). The streets were very orderly, total gridlock for cars, but orderly enough. Walking across the 14th street…

Thanks for the check in. I was thinking of you a few
weeks ago when I visited Florida for the first time
since I left in 1995. Only caight the Fox newscast,
didn't recognize anybody. Clematis St has tripled its
size and there's this outragouges…

We're all fine (thank G-d).

I had a Dr's appointment w/Max & heard about it on tv when we first walked in (8:45 am) then soon heard about the 2nd crash into the 2nd tower.

Max's sitter met us at the Dr - at about 9:30 am. I phoned Christian from…

Michelle, I don't know but this information could be helpful to you. I remember you said you didn't know what to say to Kynder when she brought up the terrorist attacks.

America needs your help!

The President has asked that we unite for a common cause. Since the
hard line Islamic people cannot stand nudity, and consider it a sin to
see a naked woman that is not their wife, tonight at 7:00, all women
should run out…
