As many of you know I work in NYC. When I got to work this morning about
9:00 am people were awestruck looking at the flames rising from 2 World
Trade Center which was the first building hit. I immediately thought of a
terrorist attack when someone said it was caused by an airplane. As I was
turning to go back to my office to go on the web and turn on a radio someone
screamed out "Not again!" and I turned around to see the flames from the
second terrorist attack on 1 World Trade Center. Others who disagreed with
me quickly changed their mind.

Everyone stood around paralyzed by the horrible sight.

About an hour later I had my back turned talking to someone when a secretary
let out a blood curdling scream and I turned around to watch 1 World Trade
center collapse. It was like a movie. Fuckin unbelievable!!!!!!!!

My firm called an emergency meeting and as we were standing around, much to
our horror we saw the 2nd building go down about 10 minutes later, although
time seems to have stood still during the morning.

I dealt with a service company that had offices on the 87th floor of the
first building that was hit and I was recently taken out to lunch by several
of them. Unfortunately no one has any information regarding them and I do
fear for the worst as the plane hit in almost the exact spot where they
worked.

I never hoped to say this in anger and talking for real but I hope to see
several more Atom bombs detonated to "soften" up whatever country this
attack was planned from.

I'm still shaking from the horror I witnessed.

A prayer for the thousands dead in NY and Washington and PA is the least we
can do.

Mike
