No, I don't think I have posted that before. She is fine but it took awhile to absorb what had actually happened. It was that morning that she called me from one of the adjacent buildings to let us know she was ok.....shocking in itself since I didn't even realize that she might have been endangered! Apparently the trains stopped under the buildings. I guess they were trying to decide what should be done. My sister-in-law said there was one girl near her who was so afraid (because they would not open the doors and let anyone out) that she began banging and clawing at the door and actually left scratch marks on it. They decided against letting people out there and the train proceeded to the next stop which was the one my sister-in-law wanted anyhow. After they exited the train they learned what was going on. She said that she could see the devastation from her apartment and it seems so strange now to look out and no longer see the towers. No one in the train actually knew what was happening while they were under the twin towers, but the sense was that something was very wrong. My sister-in-law felt fear that she might not get to see her son again.

Of course, she was so fortunate compared with those people who were actually trapped and killed or injured. But she said there was an overwhelming sense of fellowship and comraderie in NY after the events of 9-11. I guess that is part of the good that comes from bad.

Oh thank God she is OK. I have hit 'refresh' prob 100 times while waiting for your reply. What a relief; I was afraid I had stuck my itty bitty foot in my great big mouth... Wow, what an ordeal for those people on that train. Thanks for sharing that story. I didn't realize the WTC attacks hit so close to home for you.
