Nmah story life changed

Dramatically. I work in lower Manhattan so everything from my commute to the atmoshpere attitudes have changed. Fear and panic has turned to pride and strength in recent months. However, I dread the one-year anniversary. It will be a painful reminder of the day.

Nmah story remembered

Heroism. Unity. Fear. Loss.

Subject: okay for now

For anyone who is trying to get through and call, I am alive and okay. I was right outside the WTC when the first bomb/plane exploded. I ran to my building and now they are telling us not to leave bc it is the safest place to be, there is a thick white fog outside of smoke and they shut the air ducts to my building. Everyone is watching it on tv in the conference room but i can't it's making me sick.. I am freaking out bc I can't get through to anyone. Has anyone heard form Murph, Katie, and Becky? Please let me know. I'm scared.
