Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: One of my coworkers saw the news on a website before the sites got clogged. After that I couldn't get any information via the web. I was in my basement office, so I couldn't get any radio. However, my brother, who lives in another city, could get web access, and had a radio. So, he e-mailed me updates every few minutes. At one point he wrote that the towers had collapsed. We'd also found out that my father, who works in the Pentagon, was in fact not in his office that day. Here's the exchange of e-mail from all that: Brother: "also just heard one of the world trade towers completely collapsed." Me: ""Collapsed?" What does that mean. Christ I've got to get a radio. Now Mom says maybe he wasn't at Pentagon today. Our neighbor Tracy's father works on the upper floors of the WTC." [note: In fact Tracy's father was just visiting for a meeting for the day. He was on one of the first floows hit. Brother: "Yeah, collapsed, completely." Me: "From the CNN website it looks like both WTC towers are gone." Brother: "I just heard that. can't get in though. heck, i'm even trying freerepublic.com" Brother again: "hey, are you on the phone with lee? i'm trying to figure out if anyone has talked to her in the last 30-45 mins." [note: Lee is my wife] Me: "Yeah. She's been in touch with mom. Turns out our neighbor's dad is/was on the top floor of one of the two wtc bldgs. Office-mate's husband, half the spouses of her mom's club, etc. Just about everyone in princeton who works in nyc either is in the wtc or knows/is related to someone." Brother [now talking about his in-laws]: "No, they're a block from the capitol. where the Voice of America is. the building they work in has a bomb shelter. not sure if they're down there or not." Me: Wow. Didn't even know they were there. Glad they're OK. Not hearing anything about the OEOB or WH on fire. Just Pentagon and WTCs (which seem to have completely collapsed. funny skyline.) Can't get any online radio. even far away stations like ITN (british news). Anyway, I think this very parsed e-mail exchange pretty neatly captures the confusion of that morning.
