OK- 8:45 this morning I am in my own world crossing w26th street here in Manhattan, worried about bills, boyfriends etc.. I look up and see a big 747, as far as I was concerned, flying really really low. I think WOW he's flying really, really low.…

I know you guys will be worried.
I'm safely at work, probably won't be able to get
home, but I'm safe.
Tom, I haven't heard from him yet. He was probably
stuck down there for a while. Our train has a stop
at the world trade center. I'm sure he's…

Hi Michael,

I think most of us are still reeling from the devastating loss of life and destruction in your country yesterday.

My heartfelt sympathies and that of my family go to every American citizen no matter where in the world they are. I pray…

To all who will never forget:
How many of us were not at our desks in WTC on that day? By some quirk of fate, we were late, on an errand, out ill, or on vacation. We think how would I have been affected? What would I have done? What difference could…

I just wanted to give you a sense of what it was like to be an American today...maybe you can share these thoughts for me with your dad as well...

This morning, when the news was still breaking, and we were watching that second plane hit the world…

XXX,

Thanks for sending that to me. I had actually seen it before. We do a lot
of work with Afghan refugees; in my world, there is…

Pierre -- It was so good to talk to you, and so good of you to call.

I thought afterwards that I didn;t do very well at giving you a sense of what the city is like, and it's perhaps of some interest to you and Nina, and perhaps others, since you're…

I got in ok this morning went to bed late watching the news. Train was
totally empty and so is the city. Train came in on a regular schedule.
Every one is dazed and the towers are still smoking. The wind is shifting
and all the…

Outwardly at least, the city has returned to normal. Traffic, human and vehicular, was normal this morning. There were no Guardsmen to be seen and I heard no sirens. It was like last Monday morning. Too bad the normalcy is just a facade.

There have…

Dear Mr. Fernal: September 13, 2001

Dear FOA (Friends of Allen),

Allen called me this evening from Oslo. He had managed to leave me a
message last night when I was out, getting some air and a change of
scenery
for…

Egmar,

I'm not sure how to respond or if any attempt should be made. I agree with your Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder when he called this a ''declaration of war against the civilized world." We greatly appreciate the support and solidarity offered by…

Hi Rachel,

Wow, I'm so glad that you're OK! I never realized how close you were living
to the Pentagon - I'm not familiar with that area and DC anyway. But I'm
glad your father came to pick you up because it must have been pretty
harrowing for you…

I live in Northern Alabama and this message was forwarded to me from a friend. This was written by a man in NYC regarding our police officers who had volunteered to assist in NYC:
