IT ALL STARTED AS A NORMAL DAY. I WAS STANDING IN LINE FOR COFFEE WHEN A MAN CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AN SAID THAT A PLANE HAD JUST CRASHED INTO THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. EVERYONE LOOKED AT HIM LIKE HE WAS CRAZY. ALL HE KEPT SAYING WAS "OH MY GOD A PLANE JUST HIT THE WORLD TRADE OH MY GOD I DON'T BELIEVE IT". AFTER I GOT MY COFFEE I WAS WALKING TO WORK WHEN I BUMP INTO A CO-WORKER. I TOLD HIM WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. HE TO COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. ONCE UPSTAIRS I TOLD EVERYONE ELSE. THEN WE TURNED ON THE T.V. AND ALL OUR FEARS WERE CONFIRMED. EVERYTHING AFTER THAT HAPPENED SO FAST. NEXT THING YOU KNOW EVERYONE WAS EVACUATED. I STAYED A LITTLE WHILE WATCHING THE EVENTS ON T.V. AFTER THE FIRST BIULDING WENT DOWN I DECIDED TO GET OUT THE BUILDING. BUT, LIKE ALOT OF PEOPLE, I DIDN'T GO HOME. I WENT STAIGHT DOWNTOWN. I VOLUNTEERED MY SERVICES BECAUSE I KNEW THAT I WOULD BE NEEDED TO HELP RESCUE PEOPLE. MORE IMPORTANT I NEEDED TO HELP. WITHIN MINUTES I WAS CHOSEN TO HELP SETUP A MAKESHIFT HOSPITAL AT STYVENCENT HIGH SCHOOL TO AWAIT THE INJURED. BUT NO ONE CAME. THERE WERE NO INJURED ANYMORE. FOR HOURS ALL WE DID WAS WASH OUT EYES WITH SALINE SOLUTION. A NURSE RECRUITED US TO GO INTO GROUND ZERO TO CLEAN OUT THE FIREMEN,POLICE AND RECOVERY WORKERS EYES. I NEVER IN MY LIFE EVEN IMAGINE THAT I WOULD WITNESS SUCH DEVASTATION. AFTER A WHILE I FINALLY TOOK A GOOD LOOK AT MY SURROUNDINGS. I BROKE DOWN AND CRIED. TO THIS VERY DAY I STILL CRY. TWO INDIVIDUAL THAT A KNEW ARE GONE. ONE NEVER TO BE FOUND AGAIN. WITH ALL THE HURT THAT I FEEL, I ALSO FEEL LOTS OF ANGER.

Good to hear that you are doing well, as I was worried after what happened yesterday. Fortunately Kaveesh is also doing fine, I phoned him yesterday. Your country is going through one of the worst nightmares in history and let me first of all say that we here in Europe all have our thoughts with those Americans that have lost their lives and those that stay behind. All newsstations are broadcasting the tragedy in NY and WC. I just heard the news that a Kashmir groop has said it is behind the tragedy, but they are not sure if this is true. Your president gives interviews like he is giving a talk at university. Not much feeling in his words. With love, Ronald.

I went inside to my apartment to find the WTC in flames and then fall down. Today I'm at ADARC but there is a smell here from the collapse and wreckage that can't be mistaken.

This was an e-mail from a friend in the midwest and my group response to her and others who sent similar e-mails: Subject: You OK? Date:Sept 12 Just checking to see if everything is ok. I know you work in the city, but I am praying that it wasn't in or near the WTC. Also, how is Steve doing? I don't recall the airline he works for, but he's probably been pretty shaken by the events. Keeping you both in my prayers. Subject: Re: You OK? Date: Sept 17 Hi Guys. Thanks for checking in. Steve and I are both fine. Steve was flying over the Atlantic when it happened and he was diverted to Canada. He is not back yet, but hopefully today he will be home. I work about 20 blocks away and was walking to work when I saw the second plane hit (though at the time I did not really comprehend what I was seeing.) I am a bit shaken and have had a difficult time being alone. I was supposed to go to work on Thursday and Friday, but couldn't get myself to get on the train. I think I will be better when I actually see Steve again, but I have a general sense of queasiness being in the city and I am shaky. I was too close and saw too much. Plus I had the added panic of Steve flying a 767 at the time and didn't hear that he was ok until 1 am the next morning. It has been a bad few days and I have retreated to my parents house often. The sounds of the day are what have stuck with me -- sirens, jets, screams, people on the streets running, but not knowing what they were running from or where they were running to. It was really scary to be here. I think it will just take some time to get over all that. But compared to many, I am fine. I am wondering if anyone heard form Emilio? He works downtown.

From: To: Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 8:43 AM Subject: New York Trip--Part 4 As I near the end of these memories of a fateful week in New York, I think a few observations about terrorism might be in order. By undertaking to speak on this subject,I claim no particular expertise. Certainly, the week in New York only showed me terrorism's ugly face; it did not show me the mind or the heart of this evil thing. My only perspective is history. This is the way I spent my career and my thinking is automatically attuned to seek historic precedents. That's what I do. History can be the greatest of comforts in that it assures you that you are not alone in the great scheme of things. Man has been through tragedy and disaster and despair before, and will be again. But history has a cold-bloodied side; it does not assure you that things are going to turn out right, because man is prone not to learn from history and is prone to the same mistakes over and over. History would assure you that terrorism is no new thing. It has been around as long as there has been organized society. Its aim has generally been to destroy organized government and replace it with some other system (usually worse) or to do away with government at all (anarchy). Its most common form has been political assassination which sought to weaken government by making it unsafe to be a government official. Some periods have been more prone to political violence than others but history would say that the potential for terrorism has been and always will be a constant. The period from the assassination of Lincoln in 1865 to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand of Austria in July 1914, the event that precipitated World War I, is often known as the heyday for assassins. Governments found it almost impossible to stop a committed fanatic, who did not mind surrendering his own life for the cause, from perpetrating his assigned task. Further, if those assassins had support from some organized state they were doubly, or a hundred times more dangerous. Such was the case with Serbia's support of the Black Hand terrorists in the Balkans. Gavrillo Prinzcip, who murdered Franz Ferdinand and his wife, was a member of that organization. When states become involved in terrorism a single act can lead to the involvement of not just that state but all their friends and foes alike. That was the dilemma that led to World War I. Terrorists have always been there, it is almost impossible to stop them, and it is particularly grievous when organized states lend support to the terrorist cause. In a way this simple set of ideas sums up our terrible dilemma today. Can we target one terrorist without involving the state in which he hides, thus finding ourselves at war with that state and perhaps with all the states that lend support? Put simply: can we roust out Osama bin Laden without going to war with Afghanistan and perhaps with much of the Islamic world? History would say that this is a particularly slippery slope. To declare "war on terrorism" is fraught with difficulty, according to some lessons from our recent history. The more indistinct the enemy in a war, the more protracted will be the struggle and, generally, the less decisive will be the result. We declared "war on poverty" and "war on drugs" and both of those phenomena are still with us and the fight has been a long and costly one. Vietnam certainly illustrates the danger of a war without clearly demarked goals and with a somewhat faceless enemy. That war was lost, not on the battlefield--we won all the battles--but in the hearts and minds of the people of the United States. We did not have the staying power that would hold us through a protracted struggle without a clearly stated goal in mind. We did not stay the course. Will we have stomach enough to wage this war on terrorism with some of the same problems we encountered in Vietnam? Russia lost a war in Afghanistan and in the process 15,000 of her soldiers were killed. Are we ready for those numbers? The Gulf war was more to our liking; quick, technological, get in-get out and all on TV. President Bush assures us this will be a long and bitter war. Are we ready? Will our allies stay hitched? Some of them seem to be waffling on us already. President Bush says you are with us or against us. Are we ready when they opt out and we find ourselves alone or nearly so? This all sounds terribly pessimistic. History's lessons in the area of terrorism are terribly pessimistic. Can we afford to do nothing? Can President Bush afford to do what was called the Wilson Tango when that president was struggling with the deterioration of the Mexican government during its revolutionary period: one step forward, two steps back, a side-step, and a moment of hesitation. I think we all know that the answer is "No!" But what to do. My reaction in New York was, I suspect, that of most of the people we saw and, I suspect further, the reaction of most Americans: lets bomb "them" out. But then the question arises as to who "them" is. The frustration of trying to get a "them" clearly in the crosshairs is almost overwhelming. We can make bin Laden the target of our anger and outrage as we did with Pancho Villa when he attacked Columbus, New Mexico, March 9, 1916. We sent 11,000 men in pursuit of Pancho and did not catch him. Can we catch bin Laden? During World War I, a reporter asked Will Rogers if he could suggest a solution to the German submarine menace that so threatened American shipping. "Certainly,"said the great comedian,"all you have to do is boil the ocean." When the reporter objected, Rogers pointed out that he had been asked for a solution, not a method. Our solution is a simple one: all we have to do is make bin Laden and all terrorists persona non grata everywhere in the world. How does President Bush boil this particular ocean? As he has pointed out, it will take time and it will take sacrifice. It cannot be accomplished by the military alone. It is going to take a massive diplomatic initiative. It is going to take financial pressure on the sources of funds that support terrorism. Above all it is going to take a people united enough to stay the course. It is in this last area that my pessimism once again surfaces: Americans have not shown that kind of stomach since World War II. The point just made gets at something we must not lose sight of. The real target of the World Trade Center attack was not those two towers. It was an attack on us, on our values, and it was an attack that assumed we would not defend those values. It assumed that we would turn in on ourselves and be like Saturn devouring his own children. Democracy is worth defending but only if we defend all of its ideals. To win this war and lose our civil liberties is to lose this war. Pat Oliphant had a masterful political cartoon in a recent edition of the New York Times. It shows a powerful Uncle Sam with a long and terrible sword in hand ready to swing. In the background is the figure of a small boy marked civil rights and waving an American flag. Uncle Sam is saying, "Watch out for the backswing, kid." That says it all. We must gear up for a war, even one with indistinct goals and a lack of clear method, and yet at the same time preserve the civil rights and the freedoms guaranteed us by our founding documents. We must guard against the desire to insure our security to the extent that we harm others. It bothers me that a professor at NMSU--a Hindu--has been attacked twice by some cowardly person on campus. It bothers me that a professor at UNM who made a patently stupid remark about the Pentagon should have his job threatened. He has the right under our system to be a craven jerk. We must protect those in our society who choose to exercise their basic freedoms, even if we think them dangerous. If we let the terrorists take our basic freedoms away from us, they win.

I do want to add that this event and the course of events to come brings us into a larger field of light from where we can move forward as individuals together. When an event of such magnitude can bring a people together, a world together for a common cause of life preservation (somewhat under the guise of retaliation) it is for the better and we do change, we are different. I agree that we tend to drift off into a numbness, but when we are awoken, we are changed. Changing for the better. In the lack of a Piazza or town square, a local place were we come together as a large group, Television, as unfortunate as it may seem has a way of substituting for those places. In New York City, you have town squares even though not all of you may use them. In L.A. sadly we lack a place where people can come together for the most part. The opportunity that New York has especially and the world has to move forward through this time to a place of extremely higher consciousness is palpable. You can reach out and grab the feeling, it is in the air, it is tangible, and it is even more evident when you see a person not understand how palpable it is. When that happens it is the place for those who do see to help bring people to this greater understanding. It is most important for all of us to remember to breathe. For breath is the intake and the out take for which we as a race communicate. It shares our feelings with one another and lets us release what is inside of us, be it anger, love, compassion, fear or numbness. I urge you all to breathe and look each other in the eyes in this time of change for only then will we truly move on to the place that we need to. When you next look at your best friend, your lover, your partner, breathe in and out and let go. Then try and do it with each one of your friends, then with strangers and soon we will see the difference as we truly speak to one another.

Be patient and take care of yourself (eating/sleeping and not seeing the news so much). Everything will fall in place slowly.It is always good to help others. You know that those people who suffered the most are the real teachers for all of us?. They are brave and wise enough to know the lessons that need to be brought forth deep in their souls even though they as people may not know it. They are perfect mirrors. Thanks for letting me know about grandma. Her brain is still swolen up so is pressing in some areas where perhaps the memory is. Exhasution is common with strokes as well as depression. She will gain function bach, how much it is hard to tell. Iam glad she did not loose her speech. Please find those numbers/addresses I will send something or call her. TAKE CARE!!!!!and I am glad your friends are OK. Fatima is desvastated, OK the Brandts are fine from that area. Keep in touch. Mom ps: Appreciate every moment you have with people like your boss....every moment is the last moment we can be nice to others (that does n't mean we can not be angry on occasion!). I am going to Burbank this week end to bring my things from storage. __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?

I know Houser works near there but not near enough to be hit when the buildings fell. But I'm worried b/c I know some of the guys were working there. I don't know about how anyone's doing b/c all cell service seems down & the home phone is spotty as to whether we can call out or not. My roommate and I just got back with our cans & water & dried fruit. There are still 2 more hijaked commuter planes unaccounted for. A plane crashed in Pittsburgh (but they said that may have just been people freaking out). The WTC doesn't exist anymore. A plane hit the Pentagon there are fires in the Mall in Washington. Everything's shut down: subways PATH train roads were shut for a while in and out. All domestic flights all overthe country were cancelled. It's scary. I want to go home. We're at war. People are really freaking out. Huge lines at Cash Machines. Amy and I may go to New Zealand for theduration if it's possible. I haven't stopped hearing sirens all day.
