I dived into an building under the initial impetus of the shock wave of th collapse of the Towers. I have to applaud the efforts of the building management wherein I resided because they dispersed their "air contamination" masks to all that were there.... Me, and my colleggues, had masks all around. But the "ground zero" scenes were horrific. In lower Manhattan day became as night. A toxic night. My eyes burned from the debri-field projected from the collapse of Tower 2. After struggling and walking uptown on the east side of Manhattan I donated blood at the local hospital and ultimately ended up at one of my company's local switching (telecom) stations in the late after noon. I've just managed to get home, after having been sprayed, at a local commuter station, with a heavy shower of water after having answered yes to the quesion "Anyone who was within a 10 block area of the WTC please go to the right...." This is understandable when you recognize that the WTC was built in the late 60's, and as such had as a major insulating component....asbestos.....amongst other things....therfore anyone engulfed by the collapsing cloud of debry.... The bottom line? This attack is horrific, and exceeds the worst attack on this country, Pearl Harbor, bar none. Indeed, whereas the historical past was against a military installation this attack was conducted against a cosmopolitain, CIVILIAN, center. Forgive me if I rage strongly, at this point, for revenge, revenge, REVENGE!!! A POX on all religious, self-center, self-agrandizinng viewpoints!! I say salt their earth, and salt it NOW!!! Measure for measure they deserve what we can extract from them. Salt their earth. Eradicate their spiritual center, and eliminate them from this Earth. John~ John~
