Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 Hi, I live in Bklyn New York. we can see the smoke from the World Trade center. You can not get into or out of Manhattan. A freind of mine is a cop in that area. He luckily left work at 8:10am. He was already near home, shopping when he heard what happen. He got back in his car to return to work. I'm also not too far from Kennedy airport. we are part of the flight pattern. There are only military planes flying overhead. It is extremely quiet. Everyone is wondering what is going to happen next. 's new ei school sent the kids home early and are calling the afternoon session not to come in.

Mexican and Canadian borders closed, then the Canadian border reopened on a limited basis, whatever that means. All airports closed. And all of us fearful as hell. But you knew that. I heard from a friend that another plane has gone down, in Colorado, but have not heard anything on the news. Anyone know?

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 > Hi, > > I live in Bklyn New York. we can see the smoke from the World Trade A coworker of mine is anxious to get through to her mom and sisters in New York..she keeps hearing, all circuits are busy. She wants to know if the schools are closed. She wants to know how the traffic is and if people are panicking. Her family lives on Hinsdale Avenue, near PA Avenue. Her mom is on dialysis and she is worried about her needed medical care. Also, can you call within Brooklyn? Are you near PS 245? I did go back to work. Our county is on alert status. Tim's facility is baracaded by jersey walls and tons of police around. We have not closed schools or the county...our courts are still open and hearing cases. Rts 7, 9 and 28 in Loudoun County are experiencing rush hour early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 Checking in from the West Coast..... We are in San Diego, CA which is thankfully pretty calm at the moment. So far we have received mostly national news, but every so often we get a little snip of local. The many military bases are all on an high alert status (threat-com delta), the border checkpoints are at high security, and federal buildings, courts, airport and some state buildings closed. Immigration has sent the long lines of people home, telling them to return on Thursday. Many empolyees that work in the high-rise buildings downtown are being allowed to go home. Disneyland, Legoland, Sea World and other such parks are closed. It's amazing how queasy I've been feeling this morning. I need to start errands, but somehow going to Costco and the grocery store seems pretty trivial..... I'd rather just stay home and hug the girls tight. I am wondering how on earth to try and give some minimal information to my first grader without shaking her secure little world..... hopefully she won't hear too much at school. attack of america > I live about 12-15 miles south of the Pentagon, right off 95 and all I can > hear is sirens.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 I wondered how many of you have your children sent home? I called the school but they were planning on staying. I'd just feel better if Ted was home but I don't have a car. I was expecting 2 more children over today for child care and that mom is staying home with them.
