Joe's sister and her girlfriend are also safe. In fact we have been very fortunate in that all our friends are safe and accounted for. When this all happened, I was at LaGuardia airport waiting to get on a plane to go to Georgia on business. I was with another girl I work with. Her Mom called her on her cell at 9:00 to make sure she was okay. She didn't have much info other than a plane had crashed into the WTC. She didn't knowhow big the plane was or if it was a commercial flight. I called Joe on my cell and asked him to turn on the news and tell us what was happening. Joe told me what was being said on the news and I related it to the other people at the airport. When he mentioned that they were talking about terrorists, Tiffany and I decided to leave the airport. That was about 9:15-9:20. We were probably some of the first people to leave the airport. We jumped in a cab and asked them to take us to the city. We could see the towers burning from the freeway. After about 20 mins. in the cab listening to the radio, we realized we weren't going to be able to get into the city. Tiffany's family lives in Westchester, NY, so we decided to turn the cab around and head up there. We were watching the towers, and exiting one freeway and getting onto another, when we went behind some trees, and looked back at the WTC and saw that one of the buildings was missing. I spent the night at Tiffany's parent's house. I was able to get back home this afternoon. We live 12th St. No traffic is allowed below 14th St, so things are really quiet here. You can smell the fires from here, and we are 3 miles away. I was up at my frineds house on 72nd this evening, and you could start to smell the fires up there as well. On a happier note, Joe and I are going to have a baby. I am 3 1/2 months pregnant, due on March 2nd. We hope all is well with you and Scott.
