Look, there are ALWAYS lawyers trying to make a quick buck.

When we were allowed to go back downtown, some days after 9/11, the neighborhood made the Col Kurtz' village in Apocalypse Now look like a geriatric rest home - complete with raving crackpot "prophets", sightseers, the smell of smoke and death everywhere in the air, Army troops, police and, mostly, a lot of very sad people. Some of the Fire Dept. houses were closed, as many of their firefighters were killed or wounded.

Please remember, there were several thousand people killed in New York that day, tens of thousands survivors had to evacuate the WTC, thousands more from nearby buildings (including me) and hundreds of thousands of people were in the streets. People that exited out of the back of the World Financial Center, after the blasts shook the foundation and blew out windows and entire sections of it (I have pictures taken inside the WFC a few days after), were put on ferry boats going to Staten Island. When the buildings collapsed, from the vantage point of the distraught ferry passengers, it looked like the island of Manhattan Island was SINKING because of the smoke and dust particles covering the lower views. The overhead Air Force planes were suspected of being enemy attack planes, because the air was so dense with particles.

One woman, whose name I cannot remember, worked for my wife??s employers and used to appear on Bloomberg TV to do some kind of financial reports. She had to go on disability from her experience on 9/11, and I don??t know what happened to her since ?? but she was lucky to survive at all.

Most of the men, in the aforementioned Ferries, were very helpful and brave, but had ??delayed? reactions to the trauma ?? they had PTSD later. The women got over it faster, on the average.

It??s easy to sit at a computer and advance the theories that YOU like, but the world here is different than what you think. We will never forget that day, and must make every effort to prevent anything like that from ever happening again - anywhere.

He stared him down, threw him aside and walked into the depths of hell like a true hero, knowing he may never walk out again. Like a hero, he risked his life to save others, never once thinking about himself at a time when one wrong a turn, a slight move in the wrong direction, meant sure death. Although Rating: 5
