it is surreal, it sort of looks normal except the police are everywhere,
sirens go off periodically of emergency vehicles, the Arab shopping
street which is a major thoroughfare is closed for any regular traffic,
they say is is an emergency route, but I think it is to keep it quiet
from conflict from arab american citizens and other citizens.

at the moment all bridges in and out of staten island, an island borough
of about 1.5 million people are shut down because they are searching for
someone on the road they think is trouble.

i went to a service at the synagogue last night, it ended with singing
the star spangled banner and America the beautiful

So far the people I know have at least 5 people missing.

too many people i know personally saw bodies falling and jumping out of
the towers and personally ran to get away from the oncoming cloud deluge
of debris from the WTC.

they just announced they reopened staten island, they don't tell us what
they were looking for.

three more buildings each 50 stories are structurally stable and may
collapse, they lined dump trucks on the adjacent highway, each waiting
in its turn to cart away rubble, and there are refrigerated trucks to
cart away bodies. All the grocery chains and fish wholesalers have
volunteered their refrigerated trucks.

love,
suzi
