            <text>For those of you who have not managed to get through, yes I am fine. 
I work about 3 miles from the World Trade Center.  I got in around  8:50 this morning and had just made the coffee when a co-worker came  in and said, "Have you heard about the plane?"  She had noticed a  plane flying really low and had then heard that it had crashed into  the WTC.

The only radio program we could find was some two-host wacky morning  show, and we all thought it was a bizarre and horrifying accident  until I heard these lunatics report the second plane in the South  tower.  The phones rang off the hook, and once everyone reported to  work, we all headed home.

I live on the Upper East Side - 85th and 2nd, and the office is on  5th Ave and 28th Street.  So that's about 3 miles as the crow flies. 
But I didn't want to walk past Times Square, the Empire State  Building or the UN because none of us knew what was going to happen. 
So I walked all the way to the West side and then crossed through the  park. Must have been 4-6 miles.

By the time I hit 6th Avenue and 30th Street, I stopped to look  south. I watched in horror as the North tower crumbled in front of my  eyes.  There were people screaming and crying in the street.  Everyone was crowded round TVs in bars and stores, or around 
transister radios on the street.

The atmosphere is bizarre. Everyone is zombie-like.  At the time of  writing, there are reports of 20k+ dead.  The West Side highway is a  temporary morgue.  I don't know how to respond to this.

Today is a tragedy.  If you believe in a god, please pray for the  dead and their survivors.

Hoping none of you are directly affected by this horrible action.
