Tuesday
RichNYC was heading into west into work in Manhattan from Queens on Tuesday morning
Last time I saw Rich I think was when he was standing up asleep for the Homecoming Panoramic Pic, just a week ago.

Warning: Some of the pics On Rich's "WTC pics" link are VERY graphic, they show people dying. They are in the section he marked "Other Pictures sent to me."
If you go to see them, please be respectful. We share them to vent our pain at their suffering.
WTC - What I saw on way to work

Sorry about the spelling errors, but I am just a little shaken up right now. I work in the downtown area and was 30 min late for work this morning. this is what i saw on my way in. Notice the "mushroom looking cloud" that is when the 2nd plain hit. I was listening to the radio at the time and it was a horror.
I made a quick U turn and headed for my parents house. I am now comunicating with people at work via 2 way pages and all seem to be around.

I am a very peaceful person but right now I pray that G. Bush sends the whole US armed forces to the people that are claiming responsabilit and distoryes every thing in sight.

Sorry about this but I am just really angry and shaken up right now. Do not want to think what would have happened if I was on time to work.

I wanted to say THANKS to all of the folks who posted/emailed/called to check up on me. Please now say a prayer for the folks who didn't make it out of the Pentagon, the World Trade Center, the hijacked airplanes and their families - they will need all we can give them in the coming days.

I was in the Pentagon at the time and very close to the impact point - not sure if my office still exists based on the pictures on TV showing the part of the Pentagon that crumbled after burning. Luckily all of the folks who work for me made it out OK. After they had all been evaced, I grabbed a fire extinguisher and was out on the E ring with several other people checking offices when a second explosion rocked us (I think it was the AVGAS tank at the helipad just outside of my boss's office) going up in a secondary detonation. At that point we knew we had to get out - and did.

I can't tell you how many calls and emails Lynn and I have had checking on me - this group of people is like a huge extended family. God, it's great!

More to follow,

Mark Volk

Mick was at his office in Lower Manhattan, near the World Trade Center. Part of his trip home to Staten Island was by New York Police Speedboat

Hi all,

I hope everyone I've come to know on this board is okay today. I spent most of the day trekking through lower Manhattan trying to get home and here are some horrifying pics to give you a closer look...
