50,000 people worked in each tower; not many got out - the people in the aircraft and the New Yorkers on the ground during the collapses merely add to the count......

I saw a CNN interview with a guy who was in the second tower on the 65th floor at the time of the attack on the first tower, so there's a good chance alot of people got out. I'm hoping.

As of now Fox News is reporting that about 450 firefighters and policeman from NYC are missing...there was a maintenance guy interviewed on the radio today...he said that after the plane hit he went up to the floors above him and helped people down...the last trip he made before the building imploded he left a floor with some people and more than 30 cops were on the floor when he left...as he got outside the building the collapse began...the cops probably didn't get out...I'm from NYC...I can't imagine what it will be like here over the next several weeks and months as the enormity of the carnage hits home...right now we're all walking around lilke zombies watching smoke pour out over our suddenly naked skyline...it feels like the Twilight Zone...can hardly cry...too shocked...as a teacher I wonder if any of my students lost somebody today...pray for GW and God bless America.
