Did you guys hear what is going on over on the east coast? The twin towers (world trade center) is gone, planes are slamming into the pentagon, the white house has a fire in it. I think we are going to war.

Oh, girl, are you OK? I saw it on the news as I was getting ready for work. At first it looked like an accident, but as I was watching a second plane deliberately slammed into it. I just got to work and was told about all the other stuff. BE SAFE!!

Un-fucking-believable. Yes, they have basically evacuated downtown SF, and the airport is shut down. I just heard they are going to seek and destroy a plane that has been hijacked. Oh God, I don't believe it!! This is BAD.

Hi,

Everything is ok out on the Island so far. People are panicking, though. New York City is shut down. All the highways in and out of the city have been closed off. So no one can leave or enter. It's like a movie. Both twin towers are gone now.

Oh my God!! Oh, No. This is just absolutely awful. Has anyone accepted responsibility yet? Please, you be careful too, Danielle.

Hi Danielle,

How are you doing? I'm just devastated by all that has happened in the past week, and I can't imagine having been there as you are to witness these events first hand. I wish I COULD be there, to help in some way. I think most people are feeling the same frustration, wishing there was something to do to help. I plan to make a donation to the fund that has been set up to aid New Yorkers, and I am flying Old Glory as are many people around the country, but it still doesn't seem like enough. I pray that you and yours are safe and well. Jim and I were talking this weekend about planning a trip back there in the next few months, our idea being that we refuse to allow this kind of act to deter us from going somewhere, and besides, I always wanted to visit New York City. Please drop me a line when you get a chance to let me know if you are OK. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your fellow residents of New York.

All my Love,

Jo

Hey,

We are just fine here in Long Island. I have many friends that live and work in the City and all but one are ok. A friend of mine was one of the first NYC firemen to the WTC before the second building was hit. He is still among the missing.

I think all of us out here are still in shock. Right now our attention is not only on the rescue effort, but to help support anyone we know who lost family members. Almost everyone around here is affected in some way. There is an overwhelming need to help. The Red Cross has told us that they now have an ample blood supply for now, and the rescue workers are overloaded with food and drink. We have also been sending socks, underwear, boots, hard hats, gloves, soap and toothpaste because many rescuers are from out of town and need the basic toiletry items.

There has been a tremendous outpouring of support from all over the country as well as from other countries, and it really does help us. Right now we want to just do our jobs and be semi-normal again. All of our spirits are high, and we are trying to have some kind of fun because being down all the time is not good for the soul. For instance, I went to my friends house on Friday night and got totally bombed on mudslides!! It was so good to be silly and have a comic release!

Let me know when you want to come out. Christmas-time is beautiful in the City. Just remember, leave alot of time for check in at the airport.

Love.....Dan
