Thank you for posting this. Made my wife an I weep...felt like it was 9/11 all over again. I will never forget.

I had many friend who worked in the WTC and WFC. Thank God all of them got out. The heroes of the NYPD and FDNY who put their lifes on the line were able to get 25,000 out in under 30 minutes...250 for 25,000. Thank You for sacrificing your lifes so that so many could go home to your families. The man carrying the injured woman is a friend of mine. He is a US Marshal from USDC SDNY.

I have worked 4 blocks from Ground Zero for 5 years, and I can tell you it is worse than pictures can illustrate. Downtown NYC is running again, but with an open grave full of 4000+ corpes of innocent people. Those of us who lived through this first-hand will never be the same.

The only thing that I hope is that the people will ask themselves why this was allowed to happen on US soil. And then, hold accountable those who missed the obvious signals that this was coming.

Thanks for the report from one who was there. Living on the West Coast, I am sure although the impact was horrific for us all, it is much worse for those of you who live there and can see the carnage first hand.
Thankfully, God allowed your friends to get out alive. Please know that the thoughts and prayers of most of us are with all of you and yours who live in New York and Washington DC. There are not state boundries when something like this happens.
