I still can't believe what happened, but am very thankful that I was able to make it home to my family safely. My prayers go out to those who didn't. For those on this list who know people from the Park Slope UMC, it appears so far that everyone is ok-- and so far, also the families of Learning Community Charter School students. We evacuated our building after we heard the second explosion, not knowing at the time it was the second plane. We walked down from the 22nd floor. I had called Michael after the first crash when we weren't sure what had happened. We were well away by the time the first building collapsed. I was driven by an inner voice to get home, to keep walking. Fortunately, I made it to the Christopher Street PATH station before it stopped running (even getting a seat in an air-conditioned car) & took it to Hoboken where the train station was shut down. I started walking home (about a mile, but a steep climb up the Palisades) because the buses weren't running -- they were just waiting for further instructions. After a few blocks, I was able to catch a bus. I gave 2 people I'd never met before a ride to Newark after running up to tell Michael I was OK. My return trip to Jersey City was complicated because the Skyway which I'd taken & the Turnpike were closed -- but I was able to get over to Rt. 280 & get back to JC and pick up Philip (although the traffic was horrendous with lots of streets closed off around the hospitals & lots of emergency vehicles going by). By the time I got to his school, most of the children had been evacuated (I think it started informally with parents just coming to get their kids & evolved into a formal evacuation). I took home 2 kids who live around the corner, because no one could get their dad's cell number or their emergency contacts. He eventually took a ferry to Weehawken. The computer people from my company were in our back office located in Jersey City (which also was evacuated yesterday), posted a notice on our website (fhlbny.com) and are implementing our disaster recovery plan to get the bank back to business. Since I give away the money, I most likely will not be going back as quickly. Obviously our files are history (as are my drawer full of shoes), but we have a lot of electronic information backed-up & all that stuff.
