My father is okay!!! He made it out of the North Tower ten minutes before it collapsed. He was on the 44th floor and the descent took 45 minutes. Clearly, many thousands did not make it out. They passed a lot of firemen who were heading up the stairs as the building was being evacuated. Those fireman must have perished. We didn't get the news that my Dad was okay until after noon, so it was a rough morning. Thanks for all of your concern and prayers.

Great news!
You two should take a day at the beach tomorow and just relax, oh the heck with it, the rest of the week!
(Just watch out for the sharks and rip tides with hurricane offshore.)

That phone call you received must have been a great relief. God bless you and your family. [and the others]

Thank goodness your Father made it out of there!!

It was good to see your father made it out safely. I was visiting the threads and saw it and was really hoping that he did. It still brings tears to my eyes to read and remember that day. And these eyes have seen plenty, and don't leak much, but that day does it every time. Peace and the safety of freedom to you and your family.
