I am shaking and crying as I write. This is absolutely terrible! We Canadian cousins are shocked and horrified! We really are almost one nation with you folks. God Bless America! We will need it.
International flights are being re-routed to Canada. We will look after your friends and children - they are like our own. I imagine the border will be closed. Accomodation will be at a premium. In Ottawa they are organizing billets in private homes as we speak.
My husband is in Boston, scheduled to fly home today at 12:15. With all air traffic stopped in the US, I don't know when he will get home. But, I'm lucky, I know he is okay.
My heart goes out to those with family and friends in the towers in NY and the Pentagon. I'm a DC area girl, I have family and friends who work for the US gov't in DC.
Just heard the second trade center tower just fell. MY GOD!!
Just also heard this very second, that they are aware of another plane that has been hijacked on its way to Washington DC. Lets all pray that that plane does not crash.
just heard that the other hijacked plane has crashed near Pittsburg.
Thank you Jenny, all I can think about is hugging my husband, I'm so afraid for him. He has talked about driving to his Mom and Dad's in the DC area, but I don't want him to do that. I think I would be happier if he stayed in Boston for now. I'm a wreck, my husband does so much flying, I keep thinking what if................
I have had contact with both my boys, now I feel a overwhelming need to get my daughter from school, but I won't.
Dottie, please check in when you have a chance ok?
I can not make a long distance phone call...
The loss of life...what a tragedy.
The beautiful N.Y. skyline, altered forever.
My step son is not in the city...what a relief.
My poor sweet young neighbor next door is hysterical and surrounded by family. Her dh called, he works 1 block away from the Trade Center he called and said that he saw the the plane hit and then he said that the building was going down. he hung up and called soon after that he was ok but most likely will not be able to get out of the city until tomorrow.
I just can not believe this, guess I will go see jiff and give some blood and keep checking on my neighbor.
every so often we here fighter aircraft overhead.
makes you want to hug all those around you doesn't it?
Patrick's school bus driver called...they are closing his school.(it is closer to the city than we are) I sent dh to go get him instead of him going on the bus. I am just shaking now. I know that he will be ok...I just want him HOME!
Sending out heartfelt prayers that all our Chicks and their families are ok. This is a horrible disaster and I simply can't comprehend the magnitude of it and the long term effects of such a tragedy. What kind of minds can even conceive of such dastardly actions? Those poor, grieving families of the victims. My heart just aches for them.
I am so sick, also. This is so scary. I am 25 years old, but I want my daddy. Here in Okinawa things are scary, too. We are still having our Typhoon, and we are in Threatcon Condition Delta. Which means that me and my daughters are basically home ridden. My husband will be issued a bullet proof vest for when he is out and about and at work. I am afraid if we go to war that he will have to go. I just don't want to think about it. I wish I were back home in the States, eventhough all that is happening there. It is scary being all the way over here in a foreign country during this. I am so sad for all of those victims, and families.
This is nuts!
I just got back from picking up my older son. All of the schools in town have evacuated because of
some type of threat (hmmmmm...maybe they need to use them for emergency shelters..that is thought!!!!)...the little guy is on his way home!
My God!! Two Planes Fly Into The World Trade Centers!
This is so surreal.
