really surprised if they pull more than 20-30 people out alive

so 50,000 people in the two buildings
some left tower#1 after hit
a few left tower#2 after #1 hit
some left tower#2 after hit

my father got a call from a fellow
he said his brother was in tower#2
he left after #1 was hit, and was mocked as a chicken by his colleagues
those guys are likely all dead now

300 fire and police were overtaken by debris
if the death toll is under 35-40,000 then I will be amazed

reminded me of MtStHelen and its gray darkness

at the office, I kept wondering "what did the towers fall onto?"
I imagined nearby buildings crushed after someone here kept saying "WTC is leaning and gonna fall"
the implosion actually kept loss of life down, way down
hard to feel thankful for that
