mom,

I'm fine. I was at sitting in the park and the the plane flew over my head and I remember thinking it looked wierd b/c it was so low and so fast, then I heard the boom! I still didn't think it was anything big, but everyone
was in a panic and I could see one tower on fire before it fell down. I was alone for like an hour b/c I couldn't find anyone. A lot of people were crying and screaming, it was kinda scary, b/c I was expecting all these
bombs to fall from the sky like in the war.

We are supposed to stay at the nyu sports center but I and a few other girls are at a dorm on 26th St. I walked a lot today, we went to like 4 hospitals to try and donate blood, but there is a 2 day wait b/c so many people are donating. I can't go back to the dorm b/c it is 2 blocks from city hall and 6 from the blown up world trade center. No one is allowed past 14th St. Well I have some more people to e-mail, so I will write tommorow.

Jen
