Hey Guys
Sorry about that previous post---I was doing this Deja thing as
compared to the normal AOL, and messed up~
I talked to my brother last night as well. He did not get home till
about 6pm (having left nyc at about 9am) I was at work when I found
out the WTC "collapsed" and then I tuned into radio stations and the
internet when I found out what was going on. I know my brother works
close to the WTC, but I had no idea that he had a meeting there at the
time. He said it was pretty scary...like a scene out of the movie. If
you have ever seen "Ture Lies" he said it was exactly like at the end
of the movie...
I called my mom just as I heard the news to find out where my bro was
and she picked up the phone in a nervous voice. That scared the shit
out of me. But she was just worried about me at this point (she had
tried calling me but all circuits were busy) She had spoken to deepak
and everything was fine. It was a big relief.
Now I cant even imagine, what the families of the victims are going
through right about now. My sinceree condolences to all those out
there who may have suffered from this.

I spoke to Deepak Jain (Ashu's older brother), who made it home safely. He had
a 9am meeting at tower 1 this morning. His company has 3 offices in the area
including 1 in the tower. He was arriving by PATH (subway underground WTC) and
the smoke had gone down to the subway. His meeting was on the 40th floor. Some
people were running out screaming "Get out" and he did not go up the elevators.
The smoke started getting heavy in the lobby and he lefted the complex and went a block and a half away to see what was happening. He then saw the second
plane crash into the other tower. He ran away and took the Staten island ferry, then a bus to Bayonne, a bus to Journal Square and then went home.
Most people are leaving Manhattan on foot or ferry service. All transportation
is free in the area. Bridges and tunnels are starting to open up outbound, Neighborhood buildings are burning and there is smoke all around the area, The
NYC skyline seems so bare. All sources are holding back on counts.
