Moonie, Itz or GG...can you post the address for the World Trade Center? The web seems bogged down with this bombing tragedy, and I cant get anything else to load.

Kira is in downtown on W. 45th street. Is that anywhere near the WTC?

Thanks for your help...I hope all of you are doing fine.

Here's the address Jizz:

Capital Region World Trade Center
78 Washington Avenue
Schenectady, New York 12305 USA

But, I have no idea about the proximity.

I'd also like to see you New Yorkers check in with the rest of us please.

That's not the address, it is just One World Trade Center, NY NY.

Itz sees the towers from her window, I believe she is just about 3 miles away. Not 100% sure on the distance, but I am sure of the view.

Love and prayers to all.

Yes, New Yorkers, PLEASE, post or email someone if you possibly can! My first thoughts were of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I would expect it may be some time before we hear from very many of the folks in NYC as communications and traffic have been disrupted, and an evactuation of the area of the World Trade Center ordered.

I hope everyone is okay. Despite the tragedy that is playing out, we should focus our prayers on the victims and their families, and make no assumptions regarding our friends in the vicinity.

All air traffic in the U.S. has been suspended until further notice. Here in Los Angeles it has been announced that it will be until at least 3 PM this afternoon.

My prayers are with all of you in the New York and Washington D.C. areas.....

The theater district is at least a mile away from the World Trade Center and the odds Vamps was there at 10:25 this morning (the night after the concert) are NONE! There's so much more she would be doing this morning like taking the Staten Island Ferry or going to the Natural History Museum or SHOPPING or something...don't even THINK about it. Also, ItzLisa lives near Greenwich Village which isn't near the Trade Center, and somebody else (Moonbaby???) couldn't afford to live near the World Trade Center (nobody could). Also, as I recall, there's nothing around the Trade Center but the Met and other office buildngs...she wouldn't be there and no SB people would have been hurt.

Vamps and ItzLisa (and other SB peepers) are lucky people...DON'T WORRY or even THINK about it!


*says a little prayer for his East Coast friends anyway*

For those of you who are without TV access, or can't hit news websites, BOTH towers of the World Trade Center have collapsed completely, first one and then the other. American Airlines has confirmed that one of the planes hijacked was Flight 11 (from Boston to LA), a Boeing 767 that can hold up to 250 people. It's been confirmed that a third plane has crashed into a helipad next to the Pentagon, and there are unconfirmed reports of a small explosion at the Capitol. All international flights into the States have been diverted to Canada.

OMG, please New Yorkers, if you are able to log on tomorrow please let us know. ALl international flights have been diverted to Canada.
If Vamps is not out od NYC by now, she may not be able to get out until tomorrow at the earliest. NYC is virtually shut down, so if we don't hear from her today, don't worry. Same goes for Itz, moon, GG. I am praying for all of you
OMG, the second tower just collapsed.

Madison Square Garden is about 1.5 to 2 miles from the Trade Center....I just KNOW Vamps wouldn't have been near the center this morning. Her and hubby probably slept in, had breakfast, and were thinking about what to do. If anything, maybe they took the Ferry and took pictures of the Staue of Liberty....it's the best tourist deal in town.
She's fine but probably stuck at the airport right now!

Kira called me at 1:30 this morning. She wanted to leave to come home last night but Mike didnt want to. They didnt fly in, they drove. They were going to get up early this morning to leave. No sight-seeing, no shopping...just come home. I hope they made it out before they shut the city down!

My thoughts are with Moonie, Itz and GG as well! This is just crazy!!!

Thanks for easing my mind on this a little bit. I know that there is a plane that crashed near Pittsburgh. I know that Kira is from Pennsylvania somewhere. And I just heard the plane was from Chicago.

I AM PRAYING FOR EVERYONES SAFETY...IF YOU ARE FROM ANYWHERE NEAR ANY OF THIS PLEASE CHECK IN. I LOVE YOU ALL!!

ItzLisa's workplace is on the 100 block of 8th Avenue, if anyone knows how near that was to the WTC.

It may be some time before we hear from any of our friends in NYC, let's try to keep good thoughts for them. This horrifying tragedy has bogged down the internet news sites, traffic will undoubtedly be heavy for quite awhile.

Prayers to all the victims and their families.

I pulled up Yahoo maps and the WTC doesn't look all that close to Itz's workplace. The WTC appears to be on Joe Dimaggio Hwy., between Liberty and Vesey. Here's a map showing the 100 block of 8th Ave.

I don't know NY very well, but from the maps I'm looking at, she looks to be well north of the WTC.


"RE: NEW YORKERS...HELP!"
Posted by Tinkerbell on 09-11-01 at 11:33 AM
Thank you Dave. I did the same thing and pulled up a Yahoo map. It seems that she is about 10 or so blocks north, but on TV the reporters seem to be about 10 blocks away and are being covered in dust...hopefully that is the extent of it...just dust.

This is just horrible.

Where is Moonie's workplace? I know that she works in the financial world. Let's just pray that our New York friends can check in with us soon.
