Re: Has anyone heard from jabroni95gsr, He worked for Lehman @ the WTC? (Integ_GrL)
Wow - thanks for the support everyone!!!
Obviously, if I am writing this messege everything is ok - but the last few days have been traumatic to say the least. I won't go into too much detail, but for those who are curious, read on:
To clarify, I actually work across the street in the American Express building, (currently in danger of collapsing) where most of Lehman is headquartered. We happened to be renting out space in the WTC because of renovations, and all of those Lehman employees who were on the 40-45 floors got out. The (now) tallest building with a pyramid on top is the Amex building for those who don't know.
TO give the abreviated version, I was gettting breakfast in the caf when the first hit, when i got back to my desk (the 9th floor which faces the WTC) everyone was at the windows. What I saw there was horrible. Pieces of debris, concrete, metal and glass, falling 80 stories and smashing on the ground. Firefighters dodging these pieces and getting organized... and even some people jumping and falling down to the ground.
When the second hit, I had turned away and did not see it, but our building shook, and the windows buckled, someone yelled "another plane" --- and I got out of there lickity split - I couldn't get down 9 flights of stairs fast enough...I could only imagine 80, with smoke and panic.
after getting to the street level, i exited the building along with my co-workers and fellow World Financial Center employees, to a street that seemed chaotic, but quiet. The fire at the top of the buildings was quiet, people falling from the sky is silent, but the sirens from the thousands of police cars/suburbans/fire trucks was terrifying. I walked north and made my way to a friends apt - and then over to Brooklyn, which is where I live. I still can't believe it.
My breakfast is still sitting at my desk, a bagel and Tropicana orange juice right next to my cell phone...you get the picture, things happened soo fast.
I hope my sharing this experience has not frightened anyone, its amazing how much solace one gets when you share and write out how you feel - I really could care less about myself, but I know people who worked in those buildings, I walked by them everyday...its just incomprehensible...
Thanks for being so caring, the last thing I would have imagined when i logged on to my father's computer was to see a post asking about me, I'm flattered that people took the time to care about a "jabroni95gsr" -
Lets hope that everything going forward works out in the political arena, and pray for those victimized families...
-thanks
