She called her mom at 8:50 to say they've been hit and her mom could hear all the chaos in the background but she kept her call short and said they had to evacuate. We haven't heard from her since then... Please keep her in your prayers for me and the rest of America. Thanks, Trish ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 22:07:39 From: "Sharlene Faye A. Lim" Subject: Re: disturbing quote Just thought I'd say something. I think this is a hoax, mainly because of the year stated there which is 1654. Nostradamus should be long dead by then.

Leif and I never made it into Manhattan. We bailed from our NJ Transit bus destined for NYC at the entrance of the Lincoln Tunnel after hearing about the second plane crash, realizing that there was impending trouble ahead. We walked through the traffic and made our way to Lincoln Harbor on the NJ waterfront, where we witnessed the collapse of the towers from the same vantage point as many of the pictures you've seen on TV. I must say that even though we saw it, it somehow didn't seem real at the time. Then we walked home, about 3 miles north - an easy day for us compared to so many others. Both Leif and I work in midtown, away from the destruction, so we were never in immediate danger. The coming weeks will undoubtedly be an interesting experience for us, as we'll get to witness much of the aftermath first-hand. Today, we're home from work for the second day, where we occasionally see F-16s and military helicopers fly over our house on their way back to Manhattan. Best wishes to all.

I'm in nyc and I'm ok. All of my friends and people that I love are home, they're safe and I am unbelievably happy for that. This is the most incomprehensible thing I could have ever imagined to happen. I think we're all just sitting in shock, the whole world....I've just been sitting here for hours watching this. I didn't really get to see what happened, i only heard what was going on through radio. Thank you. Goodluck to all of you my prayers are with you.

I still have not yet heard from my cousin but I refuse to give up hope. It's weird though because I just talked to her via AOL IM on Friday telling her I was planning on taking a bus to NJ to visit her and NYC to visit Lauren next week. She said she'd be more than happy to let me stay at her house and she even told me of her future wedding date, making sure that I kept that day open...May 11, 2002...5 days before her 27th birthday. Thank you again, Tricia ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 21:33:07 EDT From: JewelEDA21@aol.com Subject: OT: In her recent death, please keep my Lisa in mind... Hey all just found out today that my friend Lisa Frost died on flight 175 which hit the second building. She went to BU (22yrs old) and was going home to LA. A scholarship or building will be named after her this week. Can't even believe how this brings it so close to home... Glad to hear not alot of people who have been affected personally by the deathes. some kind of light, eh? please take care all, peace, Seb ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 22:36:32 -0400 From: "Shannon Gallagher" Subject: Re: state of emergency I also went to donate blood today. I waited 7 hours and was turned down because of low iron. At first I was devastated, because it seemed like it was the only thing I could possibly do to "help" in this situation but as I looked around the room and began talking to others who had also been waiting hours, it turned out to be one of the most theraputic things I could have done. To finally be able to talk and smile and laugh really was the start of life getting back to normal for me. And even though they couldnt take my blood, there were hundreds of others who donated. What is normalcy anymore? xo ShannonGet more from the Web.
