What I saw yesterday



I have received a number of calls and emails about what I saw yesterday.
Here goes:

As for the sites and sounds of the experience, I was actually underground in
the subway when everything went crazy. I thank God that I was never directly
in the middle of the conflagration. Still, from over a mile away, the mood
on the streets was like nothing else I have ever seen before. As one walked
further downtown, the moods grew evermore serious and tense.

Just think of what you see the Godzilla movies... It was just like that.
People were screaming and crying, running for their lives from time to time,
packing into coffee houses or huddled around cars to see/hear media reports.
The whole place was absolutely stunned. Ambulances and other emergency crews
blasted up and down the street covered in ash and dust. Sirens blared. Saint
Vincent's hospital lined the sidewalks with stretchers, backboards, plasma
bottle stands, and... body bags.

The street corner evangelists were having a field day talking about
Armageddon and such. And the strange thing about that was that they had
*full* audiences. People were really paying attention. In NYC that is a
shock itself.
