Zeev:
NBC NYC affiliate reported this evening that over 200 firemen and 78 policemen are reported missing after going into towers to evacuate the Towers before they collapsed. There is no firefighting or rescue going on right now because the tight streets of lower Manhattan are just piled too high with debris to do anything practical. I been in the WTC complex many times and we are talking about buildings less than 100 ft apart laterally but hundreds of feet high. I fear that it will fires will spread overnight to all of the major financial instutitions not already collapsed. There is many open gas mains and no water pressure to fight fires.

The WTC and surrounding buildings took almost 10 years to build, a few hours to bring down and many months to clean up.
I don't expect NYSE to reopen from Wall Street. It is 2 blocks from ground zero unless it moves to another location.

PS MSDW reports on the home page of their web site that 3500 employees were located in WTC offices. I can't beleive the possible tremendous loss of life that may have been reeked upon just this one firm.

PPS good luck with grub 30K. I will not be able to give an grub assist tonight.
