Re: Did you hear?

Yeah, I just searched and CNN's Web sites and didn't find anything.

But trains do go into the World Trade Center. There is a commuter train and

a subway station in the basement.

Hmmm ... okay. I'm not really " buying " that, though .. because most of

Manhattan is *not* built on landfill and it's all above sea level. So, in

order for the water to " keep going " , it would have to flow uphill.

I can understand the parts that are below sea level and/or built on

landfill getting flooded. I just can't see a bunch of land that is at

least a few feet above sea level getting flooded by the ocean, though.

I don't think the part about the PATH train is an urban legend,

unfortunately. I live in New Jersey (and take the PATH to work), and

there was an article about the missing train in last Sunday's paper.

That's the Star Ledger of New Jersey, and some of the articles are on

www.njo.com, if you want to look for it there ...

Sorry that I sent everyone scurrying for info on the newslines! Yes, as far as

I know the info is real. It's someone who posts frequently on another list I'm

on. Here's the latest she wrote Wednesday night:

" the train runs beneath the Hudson river and the last stop on that line is

the WTC....I only took that train once-and only because I was alone and

lost(my first time heading into NYC on my own) and got on the wrong

connecting train and the WTC was the only familiar site that was on the stop

listing-I dont remember shops and restaurants(I was too afraid with being

lost and my only recollection was going up alot of escalators just following

the commuter crowd trying to get to the ground floor level)...apparently the

tunnel was flooded by broken water pipes and fire sprinklers and also by the

firefighting efforts that still continue...I dont know if the basement of the

WTC is flooded but I just spoke with my husband(hes there working til 10pm)

and he said that they sent divers into the tunnel this afternoon but he didnt

know what the outcome was-there was no word on any recoveries made...he said

that they think there are 15 million gallons to be pumped out...there goal is

to get at least one pipeline layed tonight(there going to be laying 2 lines)

and the pumping will begin in the morning....and noone has an explanation on

the amount of water--theyve been pumping out with 8 smaller pipelines since

wednesday and the water level has not gone down in the tunnel... "

That's what the article in the Star Ledger last weekend said .. that they

weren't sure where the water was coming from. The one engineer said that

if it was salt water that would be " very bad " .... but it could also be

from the air conditioning systems of the Twin Towers. I hope they can

figure it out soon and solve it, whatever it is ...
