Bethalize and others,
I am okay. I work on Long Island, but we have our worldwide headquarters about a block away from the WTC Complex. I was on the phone with someone in that office while this happened and my boss was there today for meetings. We evacuated our NYC downtown buildings about 11AM. Thankfully, the folks that I know in our two headquarter buildings are okay. It took my boss quite a while to get out of Manhattan today (the car was in there with the boss) and I'm sure it was just awful trying to get out. This is all just so surreal -- I have spent all day calling people I know who work in the area (and being in the NY financial biz, I know plenty of them). I am soooo thankful that the people I know and love are okay, yet I am so saddened that so many don't know where their family members and loved ones are. They are now saying there are at least 200 firefighters missing. The tremendous toll that this will take on this area is unfathomable.
{{sigh}}
Thanks for your concern, I am glad to see that others are okay -- hold your loved ones close and tell them how special they are to you. May God have mercy on us all.
