        I was in my grandmas apt two floors above ours and all of a sudden the air went off, the long bldg hallways were dark so we had to use candles and pretended we were monks walking to my moms apt, and my mom hadn’t gone to the store in a while so I hoarded a bin of dried apricots

        We hung out on the roof deck of the building (only one floor above our floor) and we met neighbors we had never known, played board games, some people drank and slept in tents, and we were up there when the power came back on and there were people cheering all over the streets

        Then my dad called the local pizza place on a whim and they had been using a generator to keep@ingredients fresh so we ordered pizza for everyone on the roof and had a big party (I was 11)

        Oh! And the stars!! You could see so many stars with the whole region dark, it was completely surreal. Like being in the wilderness

        Sorry too hear that. It was hard to describe the phones were down so I could not call my Mom or Brother. My daughter's school went on lock down, where I live I saw both towers burning.

        I can’t imagine. One of my friends was the security guard in the building. He sent back a wtc souvenir for my daughter. That was the last time I talked to him. In Dallas it took me 2 hrs to go ten miles.

        It was so much chaos that day. Then this silence, no sound from cars, planes, people, nothing except TVs or Radios.

        It was weird here too. I remember waking up in the middle of the night thinking it was a bad dream.

        I remember, sitting at my desk, then all the lights and our computers went off. Total silence....b/c we were all thinking the same thing...sadly.

        I walked from work on Wall St. all the way to 23rd St. and Madison Ave., to catch the express bus up to the Bronx. I ate fruit and drank water. The eerie part was watching the sunset and everything went pitched black while I was on the bus.
