I remember someone saying this has to be an accident. And I remember telling a coworker when the second plane hit that this is no accident its Osama bin laden (I read about him, ironically enough, in the new yorker a few months before). I just broker out hysterically crying and started saying tehillim. Some co-workers and I walked from 47th Street to the Brooklyn Bridge and then we took the F train to Brooklyn. Interestingly enough I don't remember the smells, smoke, ashes or much devastation. I do remember hearing, what I know realize were helicopters (i thought they were more planes) and saying the shema each time. I will never forget it. It was the worst day of my life. <BR/><BR/>fav. anony :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-52870649796626596572008-09-13T08:03:00.000-04:002008-09-13T08:03:00.000-04:00My grandmother in law lives off of Canal street an...My grandmother in law lives off of Canal street and remembers the rolling smoke that went through the neighborhoods making seeing and breathing difficult.

I was the safety monitor (or something like that). I made sure that everybody had left my office, then left myself. I figured the metro would be overcrowded, so decided to walk home to Arlington. On the way, I stopped and bought a pair of running shoes... I think it was in the shoe store that I saw a t.v. show the towers collapsing. It was at that point that I realized that this was a pretty serious business. Eventually, I wandered home. I could the column of smoke coming up from the Pentagon out of my window for the next few days.<BR/><BR/>Never got nervous, and never really worried.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-20741259250811572572008-09-11T11:00:00.000-04:002008-09-11T11:00:00.000-04:00Don't remember if I was on express or local.

She told us that some planes crashed in NY, but none of us knew how serious it really was. When we did find out about it, most of us just went numb. I don't think any of us knew anyone who was killed and very few of us had any family in NYC at the time, but it was just a frightening thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-13737002877881851982008-09-11T10:28:00.000-04:002008-09-11T10:28:00.000-04:00I don't remember if there an announcement or somet...I don't remember if there an announcement or something.

All news sites were farked so we had to dig up some old TV to see what's happening. Though CNN got extra servers up pretty fast to handle the traffic. They brought the subway back up around 1PM, I think.<BR/><BR/>One of my friends was working in the towers. He was late because of slichot. He said he was walking into the entrance as his co-workers were running out and the just grabbed him by the arms and dragged him the other way.Ookamikunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145237927656807738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-54792294390877987742008-09-11T02:39:00.000-04:002008-09-11T02:39:00.000-04:00it's nice that your school said tehillimit's nice that your school said tehillimLion of Zionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342299133387602141noreply@blogger.com
