>Thanks Cindy... A sister of one of my best friends worked at the trade center. She lives in brooklyn and dropped her daughter off at school at 7:15am. We're hoping that she didn't get there in time, but there is no communication in or out of nyc so we don't know. Yolanda and I just saw her last month. I haven't gotten ahold of the people I know either... Thanks again...


Any guess as to how long it takes to walk down the stairs in a 100 story building? I'm thinking about 15 to 20 seconds per floor under normal circumstances. That means 20 to 40 minutes to evacuate the top floors. With thousands of injured and panicked persons in each stair well. it is just hard to conceive.

Are the building totally collapsed? All 110 floors?

This could means ten of thousands of persons dead...

God help them.
