I think another thing to bear is 300 loss fireman and 78 police.
That is just a horrible count to bear to a single department, or any department.

Would someone please tell me that we all took major drugs and will wake up tomorrow with really bad hangovers and the towers will be back>
I work about a mile from what used to be my symbol of home...... Smoke is STILL there, third building collapsed, fires are still raging.
I do not understand a mind that could conceive of and execute such a plan.
As far as I know, everyone I know who worked in those buildings is safe. But
I don't know where everyone I know works.
A friend's mom worked in one, halfway in to work today she turned around and
decided to call in sick.
Same friend's husband is a Port Authority cop (the PA owned and ran those buildings).... his beat was those buildings. It wasn't his shift.
I have more stories like that.
I know I live in a dangerous world. In a dangerous city. But this is surreal. I keep expecting David Copperfield to say "tada" and have the buildings reappear. didn't he make the Statue of Liberty disappear once?
I need a hug. And a very STIFF drink.
