September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. It has been one of those days where there is nothing you can do but watch the story develop. No book, movie, music or sport seems important enough. Allane told me she heard a jet roar over her apartment at about 8:50 this morning. Monica was actually at LaGuardia airport waiting for a delayed flight to Georgia. She called me at 8:45 to say her flight had been delayed due to "mechanical problems". She called me again fifteen minutes later to say that something had happened at the World Trade Center but the airport CNN wasn't really saying what. I turned on the TV just after the second plane hit and gave her the news. Soon all flights were cancelled and she with no way back into the city ended up (and still is at) her traveling companion Tiffany's parents home in Westchester NY about 30 minutes north of the city. I went outside and walked half a block to the first cross street and from there I could see the fires. I walked a little further to 6th Avenue and watched and witnessed the first tower collapse. I felt so bad for the people and the families affected. An unbelievable sight. I spent the rest of my day either watching television reports or walking and looking. (Just in my neighborhood which is about three miles north of the WTC) There were plenty of dusty survivors, police, emt's and people walking to keep me more than occupied. Monica should come back home tomorrow. We were just down by the WTC on Sunday. The park that runs along the Hudson is our favorite to go to on weekends. There is (was?) a restaurant by the river there where you could sit and enjoy the view of the water with an accompanying sea breeze, and forget your in Manhattan. If it is gone we will sorely miss it. I also have good news. We are expecting a baby in March.
