September 11, 2001 8:09 p.m. >To all concerned friends and family members: Yes, I'm OK I can't even begin to describe what I saw and experienced today, it is beyond words. I was sleeping on the seventh floor of my apartment, just two blocks from the WTC when the first plane struck. I jumped out of bed to see what was going on. I thought it was a building fire at first, there was alot of smoke in the sky and tons of office paper was falling from the sky. Rather than watch safely from my window, I grabbed my camera and headed to the street to take some photos of what I thought might have been building fire. The scene on Greenwich St. outside my door was quickly beginning to resemble chaos. There was debris raining down on to the street and as I turned the corner onto Liberty St., I could not believe my eyes. There was a gaping hole in the side of one of the towers. I was clicking away and ran down a ramp of a parking garage on Church St., directly across from the WTC to get a safe vantage point. A few others had gathered to seek shelter and scores of people were running out of the WTC in all directions. Dozens and dozens of people were jumping out of the upper floors of the tower. It was horrific sight sight to see, and I was beginning to realize how serious this was. It's hard to describe what I was feeling, it was like watching the end of the world, but it was nowhere near over. I was focusing my lense up on the towers when I heard a godawful thunderous sound that was approaching rapidly closer. It was the second jet, and it sounded as if the sky was being torn open. It struck the second tower with such unbelievable speed and force, ripping right through the building and exploding through the other side. A huge ball of flames and black smoke rolled up the side of the second tower and tons of debris flew outward towards the street. Hundreds of horrified people began running down the parking garage ramp towards me to try and get away from the debris. Only one problem: The metal garage door was down. They began pounding on the door frantically yelling for the door to be opened. It was becoming obvious to me that I needed to get out of there, fast. I will never forget the look of sheer terror on these peoples faces. I wasn't about to stay there at the parking garage and face even more danger. I decided to make a run for it to my apartment, a block and a half away. I never knew what it felt like to "run for your life," now i do. I ran south on Church St. with everything I had and managed to escape the falling debris by running between buildings. Again, the sounds; it seemed like the end of the world. Sirens, car alarms, screams, and pieces of the building crashing into the ground with such force that the ground shook. Flaming debris was falling far off to my left and right. Small pieces of puverized concrete made it seem like a hailstorm. Police were in the street screaming at people to "get inside." I was in total shock, my mouth was completely dry, and I've never known such fear in all of my life. My heart was pounding through my chest and I was frantically thinking of what to do next. I ran into my apartment builing to get my three friends out. At this point I thought we were under a missle attack, and that there were more on the way. So we all grabbed a few things, and made for the street. Two of the girls, my friends Barbara and Natasha had small dogs with them. We had to leave my friend chani's cat behind, because it had hidden. We started walking south on Greenwich and had planned to go to a friend's apartment in Tribeca. I decided to stop in the deli and get a few bottles of water for me and the girls, just in case. Chani followed me into the store, Barbara and Natasha stayed outside with their dogs. As I paid for the waters, we heard another loud, terrible roaring sound. There was a bar at the back of the deli, and Chani and I made our way back into the bar were about thirty other frightened people had come to get off of the street. The ground shook and the roaring sound seemed to get louder and louder. I really thought we were in serious trouble. Next, the shockwave from the collapsing tower came down the street in the form of ash, smoke and debris, leaving the street completely dark with ash. More in Part II Pete Part II Once in the bar, people became increasingly hysterical as we endured the collapse of both towers just two and a half blocks away. The ground shook as though it were an earthquake, and the immense roar of the buildings crashing to the ground is a sound I will never forget. All those people, the loss of life that occured at that moment is incomprehensible. We were asked to evacuate the building by several ash covered firemen, who gave us dust masks and instructed us to head towards the Brooklyn Bridge. The ground and everything outside was covered in two to three inches of ash. The sky all around was as black as coal in stark contrast to the light colored ash that almost looked like freshly fallen snow. There was an eerie silence except for the faint sound of sirens in the distance. As Chani and I passed Trinity Church, an old gothic looking church, the bells began tolling. It was an eerie, ominous feeling. We marched on, passed the Stock Exchanged and eventually made our out of the smoke and ash,to safety. Our friends, Barbara and Natasha, for whom we had feared the worst, turned out to be okay. Apparently, they were taken to a hospital in Newark and were doing fine, which was great to hear. I was lucky enough to catch an Amtrak train out of Penn Station and was crossing my fingers until we got to the Jersey side. As I looked back towards Manhattan, there was a plume of smoke that stretched upward and outwards for miles from were the WTC once stood. I'm thankful to be alive. - Pete September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

We are desperately concerned over the terrorist attacks unfolding today. We still cannot comprehend the horror of this attack against our fellow human beings... and indeed, quite possibly many of our subscribers. We will attempt to locate internet resources to help make sense of this insanity and provide pertinent information in the days ahead. We offer our deepest sympathies to those suffering loss of friends or family. With so many subscribers to our newsletter, it's certain that many were hurt in some form today, or personally knew victims. If we may help in any way, please let us know. We're still trying to figure out what we can do. We will not be publishing our regular newsletter today. Please gather with your family members and loved ones, and take stock of what is important in your life, and do whatever is necessary to protect it. Our era of bliss in the United States may be over, and we must ALL patriotically grip our neighbor's hand firmly and stand strong and resolute, because only together as one united force can make certain... Not here. Not again. Take care of yourself, and your family.

Page 2-- It was not until around 14th street that i could see the clouds of smoke and dust. I walked out onto the West Side highway and south on the bike/walkway that is part of the new park that runs from 59th down to the Battery. Straight ahead was the visible evidence of the attack--a gigantic column of smoke, constantly shifting in shape and shade of gray, roiling. There was little wind and the tower of smoke just stood there. TV commentators remarked during the evening about the absence of the towers from the skyline, but that was rhetoric, I think. In fact, the hole left by the collapse of the towers was filled by the column of smoke all day. When you looked south there was no more of an open vista than there had been the day before. The aftermath of the attack more than adequately filled the hole in the world. Ten blocks south I turned into the West Village and went home. Nan and I came out a half hour later and walked south down Hudson toward the WTC. There was no traffic not related to the attack. Thousands of people were walking there --like us to see, to help if possible, to give blood. Cameras were everywhere. Media people were spread throught lower Manhattan and the crowds of civilians, workers, and media folks grew denser as we got closer. By the time we got "there" the limits of the perimeter had been pushed north by the police to Duane Street about 6 blocks north of the WTC. We joined everyone else watching the smoke and dust rise and change; we took pictures and gaped at the exhuasted fire fighters and patient police. These were almost all men at Hudson and Duane, but we saw many women officers on Greenwich and on the cross streets. We could not see the devastation, so our imagination turned to the implications of what we could see, mostly the faces and bodies of men and a few women in one kind of uniform or another struggling north out of the WTC obviously at the end of hours of rescue and recovery work. Unlike us in the crowd, in shorts and t-shirts, Lakers ball caps and ban-rays against the afternoon sun, they were uniformly gray with dust, helmets in one hand, goggles and respirators in another. Fire fighters wore the same almost antique fashions of fire service over the last 50 years--heavy twill shirts and pants, thick jackets, big gloves, huge boots. We also tried to guess what the big trucks were bringing in, besides fresh workers. We wandered around but saw nothing we could do but gape. We walked over to the river and there saw the great concentraion of equipment that even by then had poured into the lower half of the city; fire trucks, earth movers, back-hoes, bull dozers, flat bed trailers, busses, emergency trucks, portable generators, ambulances; it was like a grotesquely grown up version of a Richard Scarry book. We bought some arab food for dinner, deciding to preserve our own larder in case the city stayed shut down, and went home.

Your first obligation, as a citizen in a democracy republic, as one who believes that a citizen still does have something to say in National Security Policy; I mean thats the tradition, fellas. Just what did your ancestors do out there on the Taos Trail,… well they circled the wagons, sent out scouts. What were those city walls all about, but let us decide which ones, those fecund holy, joined together by Rablais, opening to the universal were still trying to pin down. The walls were for the whole nation to go inside and pour hot oil on the enemies of the state, because if you didnt your enemy would chop off your head and fuck your neighbour every which way. Yah, you sure as hell had something to say. Rablais said ´Make love and war… at the same time, the holy and the humble,… now thats innovative democratic National Security Policy… Gee, opens a whole range of possibilities, may be universality, reversibility; I am not, remember? Its all there, blood in the desert in winter, same political geographies, chronotopes, ´the lacework of time, as they say.´ (…) whats written plain that isnt much, its transparency that counts… the lacework of time as they say… P.S.

To everyone who I have not yet spoken to, thank-you for your calls and e-mails. I have lost my voice, so I am unable to call y'all back. I am o.k. and a little shaken up, even after a couple of days. unfortunately, i was right outside of the wtc when it happened. i was on a subway with my girlfriend heading downtown when the planes hit the towers, and had no idea what had happened. the subway operator broadcast over the loudspeaker that the train was being re-routed due to police activity at one of the downtown stations. we changed trains to get closer to her new apartment which is on nassau street, which is 2 blocks from the wtc. when we got out of the subway, we saw a bunch of people milling around and thought that there was a bomb threat at one of the downtown government buildings. then we looked up and saw that one of the wtc towers was on fire. i didn't think much of it, since i was in la when the first interstate tower caught fire and it looked the same. then as we continued to walk south, we noticed that the other tower was on fire and wondered how the fire had jumpted from one to the other. then we saw the gaping holes in the sides of the buildings and were shocked. we figured that that they had been bombed or hit by rockets or something like that. we continued to walk south, while the police started to clear the area. at this time we were one block from her apartment. the police wouldn't let us go any further, so we started argueing with them that we lived only a block away. instead we ducked down an alley that runs parallel to broadway, thinking that we outwitted the police and continued on our way to her apartment. thats when we heard a high pitched sound that started getting louder and closer, the ground started to tremble and the noise became much deeper. we thought that it was a rocket/scud missile and that we were being bombed. at this point we still didn't know about the planes. it was very scary, people were running everywhere, it was the worse panick situation that i have ever experienced, far worse than earthquakes or the la riots. at this time we looked behind us and saw a huge cloud of ash and smoke coming at us in 2 directions. we weren't sure whether we should run or duck and cover. so we started to run, but the cloud was coming very fast and we didn't know what had happened. if it was a bomb, where did it come from, where did it hit. we continued to run up one street and could see the cloud in front of us and so we turned a different direction and the cloud was both behind us and to the side. then as we turned again, there was a patch of blue sky so we ran towards it, hoping and thinking that it was towards the east river. we kept running till we reached the brooklyn bridge. fortunately, we managed to outrun the cloud but had no idea what had happened. we walked up the fdr and occasionally looked back. you could only see one of the towers. as we kept walking i turned around again and only saw a cloud of smoke. cell phones weren't working and rumors were rampant. no one really knew what was happening. we walked up the fdr to my office to use the bathrooms, phones and watch the news. after that we walked to my girlfriends old apartment at 100 st and cpw, she hadn't fully moved out of it yet. it was basically an 8 mile walk to get home. when we finally turned on the news at 4:00pm and watched the replay of the towers coming down, it dawned on us that the cloud we outran was full of glass. if we had ducked and covered instead of running, we could of been cut to shreds. wow! the next day, we went back downtown, to survey the damage and get a couple of things from her apartment. she has asthma, so we needed to get her respirator. we had a very difficult time getting into the area, since my girlfriend is in the process of moving downtown, she has no i.d. with that address on it. she works in tribeca, so we managed to get past the first 2 checkpoints by showing her business card and saying that it was a work/live loft. after that we walked made it past a couple of other checkpoints by saying that we were heading to the downtown hospital to get her a new inhaler, which was true. once we reached the national guard checkpoint, they informed us that this was a federal bio-hazard quarantine area and that no one was allowed to go any further. since we needed to get to the hospital, the national guard said that nypd may be able to escort us there. while we were speaking to the nypd a convoy of construction equipment, bulldozers, steam shovels and dump trucks drove past us, kicking up huge clouds of dust. even breathing through filtering masks we started coughing, my girlfriend had an ashtma attack and her inhaler was virtually empty. the nypd officer got his personal car and drove us to the hospital. she was given an ashtma treatment and is fine. from the hospital, we were escorted by national guardsmen the last two blocks to her new apartment. the whole area is covered with 3-4 inches of ash, windows are broken and rubble is everywhere. all of the fire hydrants were open to try to keep the dust down. it felt like a twilight zone episode, very surreal and unbelievable. when we were downtown, we met a couple of people who live in the area and their building has a roofdeck. we went up to the deck and could see right into the area where the wtc use to be. we saw the corner of the north tower that is still standing, very eery and 7 wtc completely flat and laying on its side across the street. there were countless firemen and trucks spraying water all over the place trying to get the fires under control. the smoke and dust was very thick, you really needed the filtering masks. yesterday, i could only take the subway to 42nd street, unfortunately with the office at 24th, it wasn't close enough. i had finally had enough, instead of going to work i called the gym and scheduled a massage. it made a huge difference and i feel alot better. today i'm in the office, and it's not quite business as usual, but there are a lot of people here. i hope that you are well and that everyone you know in ny is accounted for.

XXX, I'm having a lot of trouble agreeing with anything on this subject. If the US doesn't respond, I think we can expect subsequent terrorist attacks here. If the US does respond, I think we can expect subsequent terrorist attacks here. We must get on with our lives, but I'm pretty damn frightened by what's going on. Part of me wants to just take off for the mid-west for awhile and rent a cabin in the middle of nowhere. All of our friends would, of course, be welcome to seek refuge with us. :-) Here's an article written by an Afghani-American writer. I think you'll find it interesting, if you don't agree with its contents. Personally, I find it terrifying, because most of what he says seems to be grounded in some very painful facts. Much love, Kev ----------------------------- I've been hearing a lot of talk about "bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age." Ronn Owens, on KGO Talk Radio today, allowed that this would mean killing innocent people, people who had nothing to do with this atrocity, but "we're at war, we have to accept collateral damage. What else can we do?" Minutes later I heard some TV pundit discussing whether we "have the belly to do what must be done." And I thought about the issues being raised especially hard because I am from Afghanistan, and even though I've lived here for 35 years I've never lost track of what's going on there. So I want to tell anyone who will listen how it all looks from where I'm standing. I speak as one who hates the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden. There is no doubt in my mind that these people were responsible for the atrocity in New York. I agree that something must be done about those monsters.But the Taliban and Ben Laden are not Afghanistan. They're not even the government of Afghanistan. The Taliban are a cult of ignorant psychotics who took over Afghanistan in 1997. Bin Laden is a political criminal with| a plan. When you think Taliban, think Nazis. When you think Bin Laden, think Hitler. And when you think "the people of Afghanistan" think "the Jews in the concentration camps." It's not only that the Afghan people had nothing to do with this atrocity. They were the first victims of the perpetrators.They would exult if someone would come in there, take out the Taliban and clear out the rats nest of international thugs holed up in their country. Some say, why don't the Afghans rise up and overthrow the Taliban? The answer is, they're starved, exhausted, hurt, incapacitated, suffering. A few years ago, the United Nations estimated that there are 500,000 disabled orphans in Afghanistan--a country with no economy, no food. There are millions of widows. And the Taliban has been burying these widows alive in mass graves. The soil is littered with land mines, the farms were all destroyed by the Soviets. These are a few of the reasons why the Afghan people have not overthrown the Taliban. We come now to the question of bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age. Trouble is, that's been done. The Soviets took care of it already. Make the Afghans suffer? They're already suffering. Level their houses? Done. Turn their schools into piles of rubble? Done. Eradicate their hospitals? Done. Destroy their infrastructure? Cut them off from medicine and health care? Too late. Someone already did all that. New bombs would only stir the rubble of earlier bombs. Would they at least get the Taliban? Not likely. In today's Afghanistan, only the Taliban eat, only they have the means to move around. They'd slip away and hide. Maybe the bombs would get some of those disabled orphans, they don't move too fast, they don't even have wheelchairs. But flying over Kabul and dropping bombs wouldn't really be a strike against the criminals who did this horrific thing. Actually it would only be making common cause with the Taliban--by raping once again the people they've been raping all this time. So what else is there? What can be done, then? Let me now speak with true fear and trembling. The only way to get Bin Laden is to go in there with ground troops. When people speak of "having the belly to do what needs to be done" they're thinking in terms of having the belly to kill as many as needed. Having the belly to overcome any moral qualms about killing innocent people. Let's pull our heads out of the sand. What's actually on the table is Americans dying. And not just because some Americans would die fighting their way through Afghanistan to Bin Laden's hideout. It's much bigger than that folks. Because to get any troops to Afghanistan, we'd have to go through Pakistan. Would they let us? Not likely. The conquest of Pakistan would have to be first. Will other Muslim nations just stand by? You see where I'm going. We're flirting with a world war between Islam and the West. And guess what: that's Bin Laden's program. That's exactly what he wants. That's why he did this. Read his speeches and statements. It's all right there. He really believes Islam would beat the west. It might seem ridiculous, but he figures if he can polarize the world into Islam and the West, he's got a billion soldiers. If the west wreaks a holocaust in those lands, that's a billion people with nothing left to lose, that's even better from Bin Laden's point of view. He's probably wrong, in the end the west would win, whatever that would mean, but the war would last for years and millions would die, not just theirs but ours. Who has the belly for that? Bin Laden does. Anyone else? 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. I'm going crazy. I can't believe all of this. It's been sitting in me all day, festering and I've been listening to the radio and watching the smoke and wondering what this means for me. I feel like it's normal, too. Normal in that I've seen these images before. But then I was on Ave A in a big group of people at 9:30 this morning, staring and a big hole in the side of one tower, and flames leaping out of the other, wondering with one man why we saw flashes of lights (emergency lights? electrical fires?). I felt like crying. And then I went to the roof with my roommate with all our neighbors and we saw the first one collapse. Everyone was screaming "Oh my god!" from all the rooftops. And I'm realizing that I've just been numb all day. I not comprehending. And now I'm beginning to realize what's going on. Every time I begin to feel better, I go on the roof or outside and I see that cloud hanging overhead. I went up at sunset and it was beautiful in a cruel way. The sun was making it pink. Everything was pink. And there was another guy on the roof, just sitting in silence, watching the pink cloud moving over the river to Brooklyn. If you didn't know what it was, it would be very pretty. Like the cloud coming from the incinerators at Auschwitz. I need to cry and sob and drink heavily. It's all so surreal. The city is shut down completely. I need an ID to get onto my block since they don't want people walking down here. They want to keep the Williamsburg Bridge clear for emergency vehicles. The city is horribly silent, except for sirens. People walking, people standing in groups on the sidewalk talking, glancing at the cloud. The only cloud in the sky on a beautiful fall day. We all talk in whispers. Businesses south of 14th St are closed tomorrow so I doubt we'll have classes. I'm going to try to give blood tomorrow, go over to St. Vincent's. They say they only want type O- tonight, which I'm not. I hear the wait to give blood is several hours. I need to do SOMETHING. But I'm unskilled. School and theater and art seem so inconsequential. How can I even think about Tosca? Dumb Tosca. Tosca must be now set in some war torn World Trade Center to have any meaning. Why did I pick this self-centered business? Or is art therapeutic? can I use it to help me understand? to help someone recover? Needless to say, I am not getting any work done. But no one is. Concentration levels are nil. I also wish I could turn to religion or some other higher power for comfort. If only I believed in something. One of my friends emailed that we were in his prayers. If it works for him, that's fine. Jojo has been emailing me all day. She sounds worse than me. I called Al and made sure that Nana was alive for Jojo. Al couldn't really understand the concern but I made him tell me that she was fine so I could tell Jojo that. Michael and I are going to make some cookies. Comfort time. And I've turned off the radio and tv. Billie Holiday is going to be my friend now. I'd like to go out to a bar or go dancing. Thanks for writing. I'm sure your friend is fine. I'd only be concerned if he worked at the World Trade Center or is a policeman or firefighter. (Apparently whole fire units are missing, over 200 people.) Ok. We have to go buy some butter. Keep in touch; it's good to hear from those outside New York (you especially).

From: Carol Martzinek/AMS/AMSINC@AMSINC Date: 10/23/2001 3:21PM To: Carol Martzinek/AMS/AMSINC@AMSINC cc: Denise Miller/AMS/AMSINC@AMSINC (bcc: AMS NYRO STAFF ALL) Subject: Volunteer Information: Cheer on WTC Rescue Workers (ongoing) I'm planning on going down to Christopher Street and the Westside Highway to cheer on the WTC rescue workers 2-3 nights a week after work, every week. Anyone who wants to join me is welcome. My plan is to leave from here at 5:30pm to go down there on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, weather permitting. I've been down there twice so far, and it's really amazing. While there are some real emotional moments (more about that below), on the whole, it is a very encouraging, and inspiring experience. I don't know if anyone saw the Today Show yesterday morning, but they taped a segment about us on Sunday. I've yet to see it, but from what I heard, and from what I've seen first-hand, the rescue workers really appreciate all of the cheering and moral support. Words can't describe the feeling you get when you're out there in the middle of the West Side Highway holding up a "thank you" sign, and rescue workers going to/from the World Trade Center honk their horns, sound their sirens, wave at you and smile. I've met some pretty incredible folks in the short time that I've been down there. If you're hesitant to go there because you're worried that it will be very emotional, at times, it is. On Sunday, ambulance convoys bearing recovered victims passed by us twice. Many of us cried, but there were also lots of hugs to go around for those who needed them. There are also great moments, like when one of the rescue workers stopped to drop off a batch of letters and some stuffed animals that had been given to them by schoolchildren, and hug a few of us. Or the debris truck driver who stopped to tell us how he could not believe that there were people down there to cheer them on every day, 24 hours a day. There are the thumbs-up that you get from NYPD, State Troopers, debris truck drivers and Verizon workers, and the knowledge that what you're doing down there really does make a difference. If you're concerned that you'll see something that is visually upsetting, rest assured that you will not see anything worse than trucks carting off concrete and steel debris. You will not see anything worse - any ambulances that pass by with remains are accompanied by a police escort, so you have advance "warning" and you cannot see inside the ambulances. Some days it smells smoky, but not any more than it does outside the Chase building. There's no minimum time commitment - even if all you have is a few free minutes, it makes a difference. There are plenty of signs available, so you don't even need to bring one. There's always someone down there, and the people are very friendly. To get there from the Chase Plaza office, all you have to do is take the Uptown 1 or 2 train to Christopher Street, and then walk about 5 blocks west to the West Side Highway. You can't miss it - there are "thank you" signs all over the place. Personally, I've found that being down there has improved my overall outlook on this whole thing, and that it's a very healing experience that I'd like to share with anyone who's interested.

I can't write much because words are too restricting. I am safe, at least physically. My dad was in the Trade Center getting off the PATH train as the first one hit. He got out immediately and though the morning was full of the most uneasy confusion (I nearly fainted and was hysterical for a time) My dad and my mom are safe at home. Campus is weird (can't think of any words). People here lost families and friends. No one can fully comprehend anything. I'm not going to be in my room tonight. After a candlelight vigil at midnight, I'll be sleeping in a friends room. I hope you and yours are not directly affected by this even though I know we all are. I'm leaving my room now. I don't know what else to say. I love you all.

Another FYI... -----Original Message----- From: Rich Dickson Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 9:02 AM To: Scott Maccabe; ATL Executive Staff; ATL Field Sales/Svc Subject: RE: World Trade Center update (AS OF NOON EASTERN TIME) Michael just was able to get through to me by cell phone. He and David Frank are together and are being evacuated even further from the area. Both are a bit dirty and tired but OK. Both got out just before our tower collapsed. Needless to say we lost everything else but that seems of little consequence now that we now that all of our employees (friends) made it out of the building safely. Mike confirmed that the Ingram Micro folks got out ahead of him and he is of the belief that all of our customers are safe as well. Karen, Mike's wife, is obviously very shaken but says she is doing OK. We really thought we lost both Mike and David as we watched our tower crash to the ground. I am sure both got a little winded running down 78 flights of stairs but thank goodness the report from here is good and that all are safe. Mike pressed me for a quota reduction so this event has not changed his sense of humor at least. Will keep you posted.

Our building was the tower that was hit by the first plane and it hit above our office which is on the 78th floor. The plane hit from the North side and we face south. We had a sales training meeting in progress or about to start (9:00) with one of our VARs, AMC. Mike Hingson was in the building early which we have confirmed. Kevin Washington was one train stop away and Tony Comito and Steve Poaletti are OK and were also not yet in the building. Michael called his wife Karen just minutes after the first plane struck to say he was not hurt and was being evacuated. This will obviously take a long time and we pray that he is OK. Karen and I will reamin in close contact until we hear from Mike that he is safe. As soon as I get an update on Michael and our customers I will let you know immediatley. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mike (and Rosell) and everyone in both buildings.

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Hello, Thanks so much for getting in touch with me and offering me support, well wishes, and deep concern. I would like to express my deep gratitude at your consideration. Please rest assured that I am fine - save your prayers and attention and thoughts for the injured and for the relatives of rescue workers, civilians, and government officials who are injured or who might have perished. I personally do not know of any injured or missing people, but many people I have spoken with do, and it is heart-wrenching to hear their tales. I have not returned to Lower Manhattan since my evacuation around 9:35am on Tuesday morning, but I have a doctor friend who has assisted some people near 'ground zero', and another friend who was near the towers when they collapsed, and I understand that it is a horrific sight. Our usually intrusive, propagandistic media is sparing (at least Americans) the worst scenes. Secondly, I apologize if I was unable to write back a personal e-mail to you. I have received several hundred e-mails and several dozen phone calls from wellwishers and spent much of Tuesday and Wednesday on the phone and on e-mail with supporters. It is very inspiring to receive support not just from my immediate friends and family. At the same time, it is hard to write a unique, detailed response to everyone at an appropriate level of detail. I hope you understand. Along with everybody else in my firm, an Internet software company called TripleHop Technologies, I survived without injury. Much of that was due to luck and an organized evacuation effort. I was in my office on the south side of the 53rd floor of WTC 1 (the first tower to be hit and the second tower to collapse) when the first plane hit. I was the only one in my office when the plane hit around 8:50am - many of my co-workers usually arrive around 9-9:15am, thank God. I was checking my e-mail when the first explosion hit my building, although I was unsure whether it was my building or the other tower at the time. There was swaying for about ten seconds - during the first couple of sways I was convinced we'd topple in the Hudson River far below - and then I looked out the window and saw documents and papers floating down from the sky. I collected my wallet and Sharp organizer and keys and went outside. Some other people in the corridor initially thought there was a bomb in a freight elevator so we all took the stairwell located away from the freight elevator doors. It took about 30-35 minutes to walk down the 53 flights of stairs in that stairwell. There were a lot of people walking down with me but noone was panicking. The Port Authority did a superb job of organizing a well-executed evacuation that saved thousands of lives, mine included. Some people were making cell phone calls to people outside the building and found out that a plane had crashed into our building, but then other people said a plane had crashed into the other building, so we were confused which building had been hit - only after exiting the towers did I look up and see that both towers had been hit. In the stairwell, we assumed it was a small plane, perhaps a Cessna. You could see that everyone was frightened and wanted to get out but noone lost control of themselves. A couple of times in the stairwell, we had to move to the right to let burn victims walk down quicker for treatment, or let firefighters with their heavy equipment trudge up. The mood definitely improved as we descended - on the 53rd floor, there was a strong smell of what seemed like kerosene as well as some smoke, but as we descended the smell and the smoke disappeared. The sight of the three or four groups of firefighters around the 30th or 40th floors certainly reassured everybody as well. It was a bit hot so I took off my dress shirt and was in a T-shirt and khakis. The woman behind me, whom I recognized as an employee from the Bank of China (their office is next to ours on the 53rd floor) - was clutching pictures of her kids and her husband, I guess it crossed my mind at that point that she had thought ahead of me to remove valuables but I still figured I could return later and pick up some important office equipment and documents, as well as my favorite CDs and some concert tickets for a group called Coldplay who will be in New York this Sunday. Of course I don't care about retrieving that stuff now. People passed paper napkins around to help prevent smoke inhalation, although the smoke was not that bad especially in the lower floors. I helped a couple of ladies down the stairs. One was a woman whose 30th birthday is tomorrow (Friday) and she was worried she wouldn't be able to celebrate her birthday. I helped her calm down by hugging her and holding her as we walked down the final 13 stories. The lights were on in the stairwell the entire way until the final 5 stories. The sprinkler system was on the last five stories, creating a waterfall down the stairs and a river in the concourse level of the WTC and in the shopping mall underneath that was the final leg of the evacuation. It was strange to see the Gap, Banana Republic, and America's Best Coffee dark and locked. I saw several shocking scenes, but nothing comparable to the current horror, since I left the scene before either tower collapsed. The three or four burn victims whom I saw descending the stairwell had bad burns to their faces and arms, one or two of them had clothing burned off, but they were able to walk down unassisted. I pray that they are doing fine right now. I caught a brief glimpse of the courtyard / fountain area between the two towers and I was shocked at the significant amount of burning wreckage I saw. I was also aghast at the number of windows that had been shattered or punctured with debris, leaving bullet-like marks. I did not see any body parts or people jumping. If we had known that was happening while we were trapped in the stairwell, I don't know what we evacuees' moods' would have been like. We were evacuated onto Church Street near the Borders bookstore. I left the woman about to celebrate her 30th birthday with some of her co-workers whom she joyously found on the corner of Church and Fulton. I walked one block up Fulton to Broadway and there was greeted with an incredibly unexpected hug - from Jason, my younger brother. Can you believe this? Out of all the people being evacuated, he had somehow found me. He told me later that he had seen the first plane hit my tower while exiting his subway station on the way to work. His work is 30 minutes walk away from the Towers. He ran/walked all the way to the towers, noting as he neared that some people's pants and shoes were damp. He surmised correctly that the sprinkler systems were automatically turned on and these people were evacuees. he followed this train of evacuees to the point where we all exited, and waited until I came out. We hugged each other and couldn't believe we were both OK. At that point I turned around and for the first time saw those two awful burning holes in the twin towers. We decided to leave quickly, back to Jason's office to make phone calls to my parents and e-mails/calls to friends. I noticed several people who worked on my floor milling around as we passed the Brooklyn Bridge and nodded in sympathy. It was impossible to use a cellular phone in the vicinity of the towers since lines were jammed, and pay phones had a very long wait as well. So we walked through Chinatown and as we neared Jason's office 30 minutes after we left the evacuation scene, we turned around in response to passers-by increased excitement and chatter and witnessed the collapse of Tower 2. Couldn't believe it. My first thought was of the firefighters and rescue personnel who had been inside. We got to his office and after a couple of jammed lines, I got through to my mother and was on the phone with her when the second tower (my tower) fell. I spent the rest of the morning and most of the afternoon sending e-mails / calling family and friends, before returning to my apartment in Brooklyn. I'm writing this e-mail not for my own personal glorification, but so that everybody, especially those located outside of New York, can get a sense that there were a lot of people, possibly thousands of people, who were succesfully evacuated before either tower fell. There is hope for relatives and friends who have not found their loved ones yet. For another description of my 45-minute evacuation, please go to www.google.com and type in "kenton beerman michael luo" - you will be directed to a USA Today article that was written by New York-based AP reporter and my college roommate Mike Luo. Mike did a wonderful job interviewing me and writing an optimistic story that perhaps can restore some sort of hope and inspiration for those following the latest developments in this tragic chain of incidents. I'd paste the Web link and the story in this e-mail directly, except that my home computer does not support the "cut and paste" command - apologies to all. Unexpectedly to me, Mike's article was almost instantaneously picked up by many large newspapers - snippets of my interview are evidently featured on news sources from the L.A. Times and theWire.org to the A.P., USA Today, the BBC, and AOL. Starting Tuesday night, other media outlets started bombarding my home phone, my two roommates, and my answering machine with messages. It's quite interesting and disturbing and disorienting all at once. At last count, I have been in touch with ten media sources about my story - in rough chronological order: 1) the AP (two reporters, Mike Luo and Chris Sullivan); 2) the New York Times; 3) Good Morning America on ABC; 4) CNN; 5) MSNBC with Brian Williams; 6) the Ananda Lewis Show; 7) 48 hours on CBS; 8) Court TV; 9) ITN from the UK; 10)USA Today. I rejected appearances on the Ananda Lewis Show because I was wary of the talk show circuit, Good Morning America because of timing (they wanted me to appear Wed morning at 5am and I was exhausted from Tuesday's ordeal) and on MSNBC Wed night because I was frightened of a bomb scare in the Empire State Building (near the NBC studio) around the time they wanted me to speak with Mr. Williams. I taped a live segment with Catherine Crier on Court TV this (Thursday) afternoon, and at this moment have scheduled tapings with both 48 Hours and ITN for tomorrow (Friday). This afternoon, I had a long phone interview with a USA Today reporter for a story to appear in Monday's edition. My meeting times with CNN and the New York Times are still unresolved. Well, that's my story not quite in a nutshell. Thanks so much again for all your support and concern through these tough times. It's great to know that you are a friend in need (indeed!) Please feel free to e-mail me back or call me at XXX-XXX-XXXX, but if you would like to contribute more fully to the ongoing rescue and clean-up efforts, you might want to donate blood (O- or O+ are the most in demand) or donate supplies to those who are truly in need.

I have had trouble getting through on email, but I just wanted to reassure you that I am ok, as are Judy and Erin and all of our friends in the city. It has been very traumatic for us all, but thank the universe, we are all safe and unharmed. It was all too close to home, as Judes and I saw the second plane hit the second WTC tower while crossing a bridge on the F-train -- a man screamed and we all rushed to the window -- it was unreal and unimaginable what events would follow. I made it into work, where I am 15 blocks directly north of the WTC and had a clear view of both towers. What broke my heart was seeing the towers crumble to the ground. I have never been so shocked in my life. But has been extraordinarily comforting to be here in New York, where strangers suddenly seem like long lost friends, and the collective experience is one of unity and support. As I walked across the Williamsburg Brigde on Tuesday morning, like a r fugee among thousands of New Yorkers -- of all shapes, colors and sizes -- I felt the most pride I have ever felt to be an American and to now be a New Yorker. And that's the one thing that I think is keeping me going. I hope you are well and that all your friends and family are safe.

I want to thank ALL of you for the support and hope you gave me as these horrific events unfolded yesterday, I appreciate it so much. My sister is doing fine, besides the fact that she had to eyewitness something that I cannot even fathom seeing with the human eye (she was already outside when the second plane hit the south tower). She is still in shock, but is relaxing at home after this horrible ordeal. Thank you all for your concern. ----------------------------------------------------------- Good morning - and it's got to be a better morning than yesterday at this time. Megan's mother was at work in the disaster area and Denise's sister, in the WTC -- both are safe. The three of us trudged up 8th Aves w/ laptops, not stopping to rest until we had passed the Post Office, Penn Station, Port Authority -- at the time, there was still uncertainty about how many unidentified planes were in the air. Phila closed down -- two of my sons were at work there, and reported much consternation about their being the next target. Jean Aspen, having worked on the 27th flr of the WTC, was concerned about friends -- nearly everyone had someone in their prayers. Hope your friends/family escaped harm.
