Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 I just pray it doesn't spread nationwide. Chicago Sears tower has been evacuated. Our World Trade Center in Dallas has been evacuated, and we are on Level 3 alert (don't know what that means exactly). All flights nationwide have been grounded from every airport, and international incoming flights diverted to Canada. Our Ft. Worth schools are on high alert, being searched, and evacuated as well, the news just said. I couldn't believe what I was seeing on TV this morning. So many lives, so many families affected. Is the world crazy? Love to all, Rose (and ) in Dallas/Ft. Worth > All Members, > Please turn on your local news channel.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 I have two very good friends who work there ... one in the World Trade Center and one at the Chase Manhattan Bank Headquarters in the Financial District. I have been trying to get thru to their home phones since this happened and of course the lines are jammed. Please, please pray for Diane, Anne and their families and friends. Thank you!

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 Considering that the Nation and Military are now on " Delta " level of alert which is the highest in the Nation...it's no surprise! Luckily, I'm in the Inactive Reserves. Sal > > All Members, > > Please turn on your local news channel. Terrorism has struck > > America. > > Please take time today and hugs those you love.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 I think my body went into total shock this morning after my anxiety attack... I have no words to say because I don't know what to say... All that comes to my mind is.... Learn from this to love those in your life everyday... Make sure to show it so they feel it....If you look around you today and all you're loved ones are safe, hug and kiss the ones who are ok and pray for those who aren't....

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2001 Report Share Posted September 12, 2001 I'm so glad I'm at home today of all days. I was sleeping in since I'm on medication and my roommate called to inform me of what had happened. I was totally shocked! Then, to turn on the tv and see the horror that people were going through in NY was so hard. Hearing that people had literally jumped out of windows 80 stories up because they were burning? I can't even begin to imagine how they felt. Families could not find their loved ones, some may never find those they kissed goodbye that morning. Horrible! Charlotte evacuated our buildings. I worked downtown as a financial analyst for a bank and it's totally frightening! We are the second largest financial center in the US after NY. I heard we had a bomb threat for the city a year ago but fortunately, nothing came of it. I'm on the 23rd floor and we had a gas leak one time when I was on the 9th floor. The stairways were packed and we could even smell the gas. We got to about the 6th floor and just totally stopped. There was a man in a wheelchair down below us and the people trying to move his chair were having troubles. After keeping us in the stairway for about 15-20 minutes, one man finally picked up the man and ran down the stairs with him. We were flying down after him! If that had been a fire we would have lost a lot of people! Now, I'm even farther up. I'm just so excited about the thought of going back to work eventually! By the way, did anyone stock up on anything? My roommate and I each went out and got a LOT of stuff in case we come under attack and have no power. I bought a lot of bottled water, batteries, and food. Are we being too concerned??? I hope we don't have to use it but my God, what if by some crazy ill fate they managed to invade us? I know it would take a lot but it would take a lot to accomplish what they did today, wouldn't it? My roommate did all her laundry and filled a backpack with clothes and then another bag as a first aid kit. I think I could just about fill one backpack just with medication and supplements!!! I have no idea where either of us would go. Sure, we've got tents but I can't decide which would be worse: facing a terrorist or hiding out in the mountains and getting another tick bite. Hmmm, hate to say it but I think I'd go for the terrorist. It would be over quicker and at least I'd see it coming!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Hi Jody, Thanks for asking. My friends are okay ... one was in one of the support buildings and she got out okay. The other wasn't working at the WTC that day. I also found out my cousin was involved. He worked on the 106th floor of Building 2 and fortunately had stopped to vote in the NY Primary on his way to work. If he hadn't done that, he would have been sitting at his desk. God works in mysterious ways!!! Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
