It is snowing office paper all over Brooklyn and Manhattan.
The relics of people's workday--the 50,000 people who worked in the World Trade Center.
Everyone in Manhattan who was outside is covered in grey ash. There are 2-3 inches of ash filling the streets.
The plane that crashed outside of Pittsburgh was a hijacked 767--I assume the pilot realized what was happening, and chose to crash in the countryside rather than let his plane be used as a bomb. All of downtown Pittsburgh was evacuated, and that's where I work. I walked home.
Cell phones don't work because everyone is on them, the networks are at capacity. It is impossible to get a phonecall through to anywhere in the New York area.
My sister-in-law's brother saw the World Trade Center collapse from the roof of his Manhattan office building. He is trapped at work, probably overnight, since obviously there is no transportation.
