We hear that trains are moving out. So I'm trying for the 1:07 to come home.

well give me phone numbers to where you will be if you can. But if you can get out, get out. There are 9 planes unaccounted for and one of them is circling Washington.

Cellular phones don't work here anymore. Everyone in New York City who has one is using it.
I let Grandma know in case she can't get ahold of me. Anita Kemper has volunteered her apartment if we have to stay here - but I'm with you - I want to get out of this town!!!

Yeah understood. Call my cell phone if you need to contact me, looks like they are going to clear out the building here but for future reference it is 860-8xx-0xxx and I have been spending time with everyone else in different parts of the building watching TV. And although it may seem like your phones work that is simply a temporary thing. The two main phone switches (info courtesy of Dad) were in those two towers, one in each handling millions calls /day each. Just as soon as you hear it's clear get out of there. Take Amtrak out of Penn Central or something.

You can't leave the city. Everything is at a standstill - can't come in
or go out. I was almost going to give it a try, but then got the update. Anyways, I'd rather wait until Grand Central has been thoroughly checked (with bomb-sniffing dogs) before trying there. It's another prime target.
You may not see me tonight - we'll see how the day goes. Let me have your
number at work (I changed pocketbooks and left your card home).
Love, Mom
P.S. The other World Trade Center building went down. One of the planes they hijacked was an American Airlines from Boston to Los Angelos. I heard the second was US Air from Chicago. Sickening isn't it - first thing I thought of was you recently flying around up there.

Wouldn't it be a good plan to take a "personal"day?

...a third plan took off fast from LaGuardia in the no fly zone and the military are chasing after it. Just heard that the Pentagon in Washington was also on fire.
If I don't make it home, the will I have leave everything to you. Don't worry, I'll probably be OK unless they decide to hit Rockefeller Center - then it will get ugly.
Love, Mom

...I was walking down 5th Avenue and everyone was turning around looking towards the Empire State Building. I saw a very tall building with smoke coming out. It turns out to be the World Trade Center. A plane hit it and
then another plan hit the other World Trade Center building. Guess we are
back to dealing with terrorism in NYC. Rumors are flying that they are
going to hit us in the streets. Let me know if you hear anything. I'm
"safe" in my building on 6th Avenue you (on the 14th floor).
Love, Mom.
