                <text>This collection is an audio file of the messages I left on my home answering machine as the first plane hit the north tower and a later follow-up.  Knowing that there would be lots of news out of New York that morning, I was trying to reach my wife to let her know I was OK.&#13;
&#13;
The boat referenced in the first email is a water taxi I drive part-time on weekends from Jersey City to the World Financial Center marina called North Cove.  Our boat now goes into Pier A at Battery Park.  At the time of the message, my wife would have been unsure if I took the train or the boat into the city.  That would have made a BIG difference that day.  I took the train.&#13;
&#13;
I hope the attached audio files give you a sense of the utter disbelief I felt as the events were unfolding well before any news crews were on the scene.  I made the first call from my cell phone while walking down W. 3rd.&#13;
&#13;
The first plane literally flew right over the tops of the buildings.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely,&#13;
Ed Baker&#13;
