MY HUSBAND AND I STOOD AND WATCHED IN HORROR AS TOWER 2 (SOUTH) CRUMBLED. I WALKED HOME ON SHAKY LEGS AND THEN SPENT THE NEXT 6 HOURS CALLING ALL THE PARENTS OF HYDE SCHOOL STUDENTS. I NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO ASSURE THE STUDENTS THAT THEIR PARENTS WERE OK. BY SOME SMALL MIRACLE EVERYONE WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE, WAS, FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, NOT IN THE BUILDINGS DURING THE ATTACK. EVERY PARENT WAS SAFE.
