ArchivesRe: ...my positive energy to NY... :-( n/t
in reply to a message by Pavlos
The Governor of Florida declared a state of emergency and closed all state institutions, including schools soon after his brother left Florida this morning. I was in English class when I found out about the attack on the World Trade Center. I didn't find out until after they closed classes about the attack on the Pentagon. Both my Uncle and my Aunt work at the Pentagon, and we haven't heard from them yet. My cousin, their daughter, is at a college in Pennsylvania. I don't know if it's near where the fourth plane crashed or not.
I don't have to imagine what other families are going through right now, waiting for word from thier loved ones, because I am experiencing it myself. My thoughts and prayers are with those people and their families who are going through the same thing as my family and I.
*** Also, if you can, donate blood to your local red cross. I heard that hospitals are shipping blood from all over to those injured in this travisty. It;s at least one thing we can do to keep us from feeling helpless in this matter.

It's crazy and awful
We spent pretty much the whole day watching the news (I'm in high school). It's so bizarre. My friend started crying when she heard about it - I don't blame her.
One student in the town's middle school had both parents on one of the planes that crashed. I don't know who it is, but I feel horrible for them. Losing both parents so suddenly, and in such an awful way...it's small compared to the whole tragedy, but it's all I can really comprehend at this point.
Good luck to everyone, especially families of the many victims.

I am devastated by what happened there. The US are very dear to me, I have spent some of the best years of my life there. I cannot fathom who could possibly gain or profit from this act. I only hope humanity will not suffer further from its repercussions during the years to come.

Good news under the circumstances...
My uncle called my grandmother, who lives here in Florida, around 11pm this morning. He is fine, thank God, and my aunt happened to be on a business trip to Dallas, TX. Though she was nowhere near the attack, I've no doubt she is upset that she can't go home right now.
Thank you everyone who has been praying and "sending positive energy" to not just me, but to all the victims of this monstrous occurance. God Bless!
As if the WTC attack wasn't enough, my brother said that there was a bomb threat at his school today. Someone wrote it on the bathroom wall. It was the 6th bomb threat this year for the high school. And we only started 5 weeks ago! Three were for the whole county and the rest were from just our school. It's scary how "scum" developes at such an early age.

Way cool that your family is okay, 'Cole! America is going to be just fine -- and strong -- in the face of this. These terrorists will NOT destroy our way of life. I already see all of America -- people of different backgrounds and beliefs -- coming together. New York may be down for the moment, but we're not out.
