Subject: Report from NY
We're all fine (thank G-d).
I had a Dr's appointment w/Max & heard about it on tv when we first walked in (8:45 am) then soon heard about the 2nd crash into the 2nd tower.
Max's sitter met us at the Dr - at about 9:30 am. I phoned Christian from her cell phone & he was fine. He convinced me not to go into work. (Not that I could have - I soon found out the subways were all shut down & the school closed as of 10:00 am. Columbia university/Teachers College will also be closed tomorrow.)
My Dad was about 10 min outside the city (he works 4 blocks from the trade center) when he saw the smoke. He turned on the radio - then my mom got through to him on the cell - screaming & crying she told him to come home.
He's at home with my mom.
Christian is still at work - but he's out in the boonies of Long Island - so we are not too concerned. It may be difficult for him to get home, though. I guess he could stay at my parents' house.
There are constant sounds of sirens & people are just glued to their tvs & radios. We are all kind of dazed, teary, spacey... It's surreal. We were supposed to have a primary election today - but it's been postponed.
I 've never been to the top of those towers - always figured I'd have a chance....
Our phone has been sporadic - circuits are all busy.
But, like I said - we are all fine.
