That's one thing the terrorists didn't consider: NYC work habits. Only a few people are at their desks before nine.
I got off the subway at 9:10, after the second plane had hit. If I had been smart, I wouldn't have stuck around. Well, at least I didn't run over and gape up at the burning buildings.
Yep. My friend worked for eSpeed (division of Cantor Fitzgerald).. I used to work with her at Instinet, and she had a "nasty" habit of coming to work 15-20 mins late on regular basis... It saved her on the 11th.
