September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Hello all, I made it to work this morning, although it was a journey just to get downtown. The local train to South Ferry will be closed for the indefinite future because two stations were crushed in the fall of the WTC. The last stop on the 1 and 9 trains was South Ferry, my stop, so I will be taking another train for the next several months (or years). Even though the Express train was running to Wall Street, the trains were stopped at Canal (almost 2 miles north) and I had to walk to work from there. I had to pass through 2 police and U.S. Army checkpoints to prove that I worked downtown, one at Canal and one at Pine Street, just north of the Stock Exchange. The streets were eerily deserted of private cars, and roadblocks were all over the place, dividing the downtown into sectors that were alternately accessible or off limits. The few cars remaining were still covered with dust; one had its back window blown out and haphazardly taped over. The people were very docile, following directions, including bright blue signs leading the traders down to the Stock Exchange. Walking down Nassau and passing Fulton and Liberty, I saw the burned out hulk of 5 WTC, a black building to begin with but now lacking any windows, and then the skeleton of 2 WTC, a twisted charred piece of metal rising up 50 feet where the tower once rose. There were such strange views in that direction; where once you'd see the towers rising, there is now an open space, surrounded by the much lower-scale World Financial Center. A few times I felt I should have found a face mask for all the smoke that was lingering -- all the soldiers and police men were wearing them -- but I figured they'd be outside a lot longer than I would. The Stock Exchange had the biggest U.S. flag I've seen this week, stretched across its portico, with thousands of people milling around in front of it, presumably being checked before going in. I passed around the back of the building on New Street, usually filled this time of day with delivery trucks bringing in the traders' breakfasts (all of which had to pass through a metal detector, which I had always thought an unnecessary precaution, but the importance of which I now can understand). Today the street was empty except for mobile power generators. Walking up to Broadway, I turned south and passed through another checkpoint unquestioned (it was directed toward people arriving from the ferry terminal and the Bowling Green subway station walking north) and found my building as I had left it last Tuesday, but with heightened security at the base. Now at work and looking out my window, I no longer see the Twin Towers, their bulk having been replaced by plumes of white smoke, as if they have floated away as dust. An Army HumVee sits like a sentinel in the middle of Broadway, guarding the Bronze Bull that stares up the avenue at Bowling Green. The pavement and sidewalks are all covered in a fine white dust -- there's no distinguishing black-top from concrete. U.S. flags of all sizes, which I have always enjoyed fluttering on the many flagpoles I can see outside my window, are all at half staff. Broadway is like a wall -- the work week is starting on the east side, which has electricity, water and telephone (but no internet) service -- the west side of Broadway to the Hudson, all part of the clean-up scene, is deserted. And above all this, a completely cloudless, gorgeous day. September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

I am going home to be with my mother for the holiday tonight, which is probably the best thing anyone could do for me. I really need her right now, as I'm sure you can understand. I hope that you are doing well and that we can talk soon. Judy and I tried very hard to call you, but relay was down. I have to get to work now -- first day back since Tues morning, and I am relieved to be able to go back to something close to normalcy! Love you, Em ----Original Message Follows---- From: rdubin To: emily_habibty@hotmail.com Subject: v'yashvu ish tachat gafno.... Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2001 16:29:17 -0400 Hi Em, In the spirit of today's National Day of Prayer and Remembrance, here are some passages from the good old Gates of Prayer I found this morning that I felt were very appropriate. See below and enjoy. Somehow, the old Song of the Partisans--you know, Zog Nit Keynmol--takes on a whole new meaning now. Indeed..."Never say that there is only death for you, because leaden clouds hide skies of blue/The time we've longed for will at last draw near/And our steps, as drums will sound, WE ARE HERE/ From land all green with palms to lands all white with snow/We arrive with our pain, our anguish and our woe/And where our blood sprayed out and came to touch the land/There our courage and our faith will rise and stand..." Stay safe and let me know how you're doing, and let me know what else I can do to help you and Judes. Love, Rach from GOP pp. 80-81 Eternal Source of knowledge, You have endowed us with reason and understanding. We pray now for the light of Your truth, for insight into Your ways, and for the strength to banish from our hearts every desire and thought of evil. > Forgive our sins, pardon our failings, and help us to remove suffering and sorrow from our midst. May those who have lost their way come again to know Your love, and turn to You in newness of heart; and let those who love goodness and do justly rejoice in the knowledge of Your favor. > Bless our land with plenty and our nation with peace. May righteousness abide with us, and virtue bring us happiness. Blessed is the Holy One, who hearkens to prayer. ADONAI our God, Creator of all the world, You have blessed us with noble powers: teach us to make wise use of them. You have called us to be Your partners in the work of creation, and we thank You for the power to choose a life devoted to Your service, dedicated to the well-being of those around us. May all that we do bring nearer the coming of Your dominion on earth. > May all peoples find their way to establish peace on earth. Let them cultivate that good will which alone can bring enduring peace. Let the nations realize that the triumphs of war turn to ashes, that justice and right are better than conquest and dominion. > May they come to see that it is not by might nor by power, but by Your spirit that life prevails. from GOP p. 89 The Gevurot litany Your might, O God, is everlasting; > Help us to use our strength for good and not for evil. You are the Source of life and blessing; > Help us to choose life for ourselves and our children. You are the Support of the falling; > Help us to lift up the fallen. You are the Author of freedom; > Help us to set free the captive. You are our Hope in death as in life; > Help us to keep faith with those who sleep in the dust. Your might, O God, is everlasting; > Help us to use our strength for good. from GOP p. 193 A Litany of Peace (or, the SPORK's creed) O God, You have called us to peace, for You are Peace itself. May we have the vision see that each of us, in some measure, can help to realize these aims: Where there are ignorance and superstition, > Let there be enlightenment and knowledge. Where there are prejudice and hatred, > Let there be acceptance and love. Where there are fear and suspicion, > Let there be confidence and trust. Where there are tyranny and oppression, > Let there be freedom and justice. Where there are poverty and disease, > Let there be prosperity and health. Where there are strife and discord, > Let there be harmony and peace. And, finally, from our NFTY days, V'yashvu ish tachat gafno V'tachat t'einato Ah v'ein machrid ah v'ein machrid la la la la...

News flash...Pakistani Secret Weapon A Dud Today Pakistan attempted to catch the West off guard by launching a preemptive strike. Fortunately the ICBM's (Inter Continental Ballistic Man) gyro (made in Iraq) was defective and the weapon went up, veered off course and came down in a rural marketplace. As you can see in this photograph, the Pakistani built projectile, which supports a five megaturban warhead (made by a Palestinian weapons manufacturer), embedded itself in the ground but failed to explode. A bum disposal squad that was dispatched to defuse the weapon was unable to get to the bottom of why it failed to explode.

Office of the Dean o Faculty of Arts and Sciences University Heights o 360 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. o Newark o New Jersey 07102-1801 o 973/353-5213 Statement of Steven J. Diner, Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences-Newark We have all been deeply hurt by the events of September 11. Our nation was viciously attacked by people who revile the civil liberties, religious freedom and pluralism that we so cherish as Americans. To the terrorists, the race, nationality, religion and social class of the Americans they killed matters not at all. I want to express my deep appreciation to our faculty, staff and students, who have come together to provide help to each other and to assist the victims of this terrible tragedy. The spirit of unity and common purpose on this campus has been truly inspiring. I want to encourage members of the campus community to continue organizing public forums, drawing upon our facultys expertise, to examine the unfolding events calmly and analytically. In this difficult time, and in the trying days that lie ahead, we must avoid venting our anger at the members of any religious, national, racial or ethnic group. To do so, as many have said, would play into the hands of those who hate us for our freedom and our diversity. Of all the institutions in our society, universities have a special obligation to reject bigotry. To fulfill our mission, we must treat every member of our community as an individual, and provide a safe space in which individuals can explore ideas and learn from each other. This obligation falls especially on Rutgers-Newark, ranked for five consecutive years as the nations most diverse national university. Every member of our faculty and staff must be sensitive to the diversity of our community. I will take appropriate action against any Arts & Sciences instructor, staff member or student who engages in harassment of individuals on the basis of their religion, nationality, race or ethnicity, or who incites hatred. We are all proud of our designation as the most diverse national university. It is now time to give that title real meaning. This is a defining moment for Rutgers-Newark. I have every confidence that we will rise to the occasion. September 23, 2001 September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

Chas: This morning the medical school had a special grand rounds to commemorate the anniversary of 9/11. At this assembly, two international experts lectured about weapons of mass destruction and bioterrorism. After grand rounds, I headed into the operating rooms to do what I've been trained to do, that is to "save lives and stamp out disease" as Dad would say. At the same time I realized how ill equipped and poorly trained I am to care for victims of the disease known as terrorism. Perhaps the training you are receiving and the work that someday you do will be more effective against terrorism. Understanding cultures, language and communication are more important here than management of airway, breathing and circulation. In the fight against terrorism, human communication has the potential to save more lives than all the surgeons and anesthesiologists in all the operating rooms in the world. It's time for me to go back to airway, breathing and circulation. You - go read some Greek.

I have been both deeply moved by the emotions elicited by other nations (see photo link below) and sadly skeptical of what they mean. Why don't we grieve like this when Kosovars, Rwandans, or Colombians burn? They suffer in incomprehensible ways EVERY DAY. Is it because of money or is it because ultimately an attack on Rwanda really cannot be labeled an "attack on the world" or an "attack on freedom" as this has? The world will be implicated in our response; maybe they just want to be sure that they're on the good guys side. But are we the good guys...? I question everything as you do these days, Kev.

Conversation is healthy. Fear is normal. Confusion is frustrating but, sadly, with us for a while. I have been taking a lot of time to reevaluate my work in the context of this crisis and feel that, now more than ever, public health is another notch in that interminable pitch for social justice. I will continue to fight the war for equal access to quality health care, the right to choose when and if to have children, and for sexual freedom. I will continue to question political systems, including our own, that deny these things to the people that they claim to (do?) care about. I heard that TomPaine.com recently called Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson the Taliban of the US. We all have our evils. I'm tired too, Kev...and scared. Really fucking scared.

I agreed with what he said, but I think he should've waited a couple of days. His timing was brutal and, I think, somewhat insensitive. I don't know what's right and wrong. The US' socio-political engineering in the Middle East has been largely ineffective. Will it continue? Are we now going to get the Iranians to help us against the Iraqis? Are we now going to get the Russians to help us against the Afghanis? Didn't we put the Iraqis and Afghanis right where they are now intentionally to give us a strategic military advantage against Iran and Russia, respectively? Ugh! I don't want any more strikes to happen. I think they will. I'm scared. In the simplest of terms, as a US citizen, my taxes go towards the military so that it will PROTECT US. Not only does it seem wholly incapable of protecting us, but it may take actions that will put us in greater danger. Do I want Bin Laden's team of terrorists disbanded and imprisoned? Yes. Do I care if the terrorists are killed in the process? No. Do I care if innocent Afghanis are killed? Yes, it's no better than killing innocent Americans. Unfortunately, it's during times like these that lives have different values. The Taliban leaders have gone into hiding, leaving the citizens of Afghanistan to fend for themselves. What does this say for them? For the value of their people to them? How does it compare with the value of American citizens? It seems different to me. It seems that our government at least cares enough about us that they make sure that we still matter to the rest of the world. All around the world, there are vigils for the NY victims.

Is it that the US stands for freedom, something the rest of the world is aspiring to? Does the US stand for freedom anywhere but here? I don't know anymore... I'm tired, XXX, tired of all of this. Now everyone's discussing biological weaponry. If I understand it correctly, I don't want to be within 50 miles of New York City. But I live here, and you live here, and we all live here, and it's not as simple as driving off into the sunset to let everyone else fend for themselves. I don't know what to do, but the meaningless work I do all day certainly isn't helping anyone. Here's to hoping things improve. At least the Israelis and Palestinians have temporarily stopped beating the shit out of each other.

From: "Pauline Harris" <eleni368@yahoo.com> To: "Pat Forbes" <paforbes@sprynet.com> Hi, Pat... I will write about this. It is still too close, and I am too nervous and jittery...I jump at all loud noises, and Drew has not shaved because his hands are not steady (and, to help him out some, I reminded him that not shaving is a sign of being in mourning). We are determined to survive this. Drew sheltered me from seeing some horrific things, but in the process, he saw them. I fear for his sense of peace. We are working out the usual feelings of guilt for surviving, for wanting to leave, for being alive but not volunteering or helping in some way. Here's an example: He told people,"I was selfish, I just wanted to protect Pauline and me. She was so selfless, worrying about the people who were not able to get out. I just wanted to get us out." I had to remind a friend who is a neighbor (on our floor, no less) who was feeling guilty that he didn't go help people out of the building that, had any of us tried to help at the time, we most likely would have died, given the falling debris and the staggering force of the collapsing towers. I don't know what to say about it yet. I noticed a beautiful pair of black pumps left on the sidewalk, hopefully, so the woman who left them could run faster. I saw one black woman berate another black woman who was wearing the veil, down the street from the flames of Tower 2. I saw another woman in the veil pushing a baby carriage, walking with two other small children in the East Village where we finally emerged from the dust, seeking refuge for ourselves, and I wanted her to seek refuge for herself and her children. I screamed in my head, Get home, get your children home before someone takes revenge on you! There are flattened emergency vehicles, smiling National Guardsmen and women who hand out water and cookies to those of us waiting for an escort to our homes that may or may not happen. There are the armies of exhausted firefighters from all over the country. There are tacky t-shirts that proclaim, "I can't believe I got out!" There are flags, oh, there are so many beautiful flags. I don't want to be here at work, but at least I can be in a quiet place and have access to email and such. My office building has an awesome view of the smouldering pit where the World Trade Center used to be. My colleagues made me sit with my back to the windows of our cafeteria today, where I usually sit facing them, looking out over the Hudson at the building where Drew used to work. I don't know what else to say right now. Take care, love, Pauline September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

This morning the reality sunk in. I am a pastor in Queens, and my colleague Bob Fritch and I have been ministering to our parishioners, so far all of whom have been spared - we have heard their stories of getting out of the World Trade Center, of seeing the second plane go in with their own eyes, of people jumping from the towers, of running for their lives. And yet, still, the whole thing has had an air of unreality to it. Even in Queens, we have still been watching it on t.v. like the rest of the country. But then the wind shifted last night. Today, in my far northeastern corner of Queens, the smell is pouring in my south facing windows. I awoke to an unmistakable reality - a smell like a car fire, burning electrical wires, burning paper, and another element that I do not want to think about too much. It is absolutely overwhelming to realize that I am breathing in the smell of two 110 story buildings being smashed, burnt, and crushed to the ground filled with people.

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. Amy September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Thanks for the check in. I was thinking of you a few weeks ago when I visited Florida for the first time since I left in 1995. Only caight the Fox newscast, didn't recognize anybody. Clematis St has tripled its size and there's this outragouges shopping plaza where there used to be shacks. Always been curious to your whereabouts and if the dot com collpase hasn't hit you too hard. Anyway... It was fucking unbelievable. As I got up in the morning all I heard was sirens-I live in Gramercy Park which is like 50 blocks from the WTC. That I'm used to because I live across from a Police Station. I turned on the TV just when the second plane hit. I was stunned. I didn't know what to do so I walked uptown to go to work. Yes, it was horrible, but after the bombing of the Trade Center in '93 I assumed that nothing to could destroy them. My path led me to a spectacular view of the wreckage on 23rd and 5th. Both towers were up in smoke. A camera crew asked to bother my headsets which I forgot were on my head. They couldn't get the mike to work and they wanted to check audio. That was when the first one collapsed. People starting screaming. It was truly stunning because it didn't seem real. "You sure it fell?" It seemed to just vanish, as if it was standing then decided to take a seat. People were screaming, crying. Even though I saw it, the only way I knew it truly happened was that you could hear the radio reports from all the cars that stopped. It was truly a hopeless feeling. People were crying all around me. I took out a couple hundred dollars, got some people out of work-these are "industry" people-so they think there indestrutable. I told them I was heading back home and that Gramercy Park was a whole lot safer than Times Square(which is where I work lgging in tapes for a few cable networks-truly a sucky job). The long walk home with a few people that followed me was surreal. The scarriest thing was seeing this guy, totally covered in dust, just walking down the street like a zombie. Everyone was scarred. No one's phone was working. We kept hearing that there was more planes headed to New York. Everyone time you heard a plane you prayed for the best. Luckily they were always military jets. I fortunately know no one personally who's been affected and I hope you're in the same boat. We do have this couple staying with us now who lived down there, but they're okay, it's mainly that the city is shut down from below 14th street. Well, the look of New York City is forever changed. This is worse than Pearl Harbor-being that was a military installation and that there was an easily discernable enemy. What scares me most was those who were on those hijacked planes and what will stop it from happening again. It was hard sleeping. Everytime I woke up I would hear sirens. The emotion of it all hits me in waves. Now, I'm seeing if there's anywhere around I can donate blood but the problem is that they really don't need it. The injured have slow down to a trickle. The only thing that's next is to start counting the dead and hopefully the few remaining survivors. --- William Winter wrote: > Scott, > > Wondering if you are in NYC and okay. > Drop me a line or call if you still check this email > address. > > William > 650-xxx-xxxx September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

AARP, along with the rest of downtown DC was evacuated at 11:30 yesterday morning. David and I and two co-workers walked home (8-9 miles). The streets were very orderly, total gridlock for cars, but orderly enough. Walking across the 14th street bridge was surreal as a nice breeze kicked up on a sunny day, and jet fighters flew low cover overhead and the black clouds of smoke were visible over the Pentagon and fanned out south.
