so so sad to see these memorials to those brave people

Sadly, we were not able to cover the hundred of fire stations and police precincts. If we had, you/we would have seen thousands of such memorials and pleas for help finding a lost person.

I was in my thirties when this happened. Just like everybody that day. I lived in park s**** Brooklyn and I was going in to work into Manhattan When all hell broke loose. I work on William street, which is about 2 blocks away from the world trade center. And our building shook when the second plane hit. Because I wasn't in the building for the first attack. And we were running down the streets scared to death. I remember my partner did not come home for a long time. He was a doctor waiting on the internet to come in. And of course, as you know, there was no injured, mostly maybe 1 or 23 or for 5 people. But everyone else had been murdered. Let me say the word again murdered. Then we tried to get on with the lives the first week. But then we saw the black bunting on all of the firehouses and the police stations. We saw pictures on the back of cars way out on Long Island looking for the lost ones. Andwe saw people who were in denial thinking that the loved ones had been hit over the head by falling.. Debris and could not find their way home it was horrendous When all hell broke loose.
