World Trade Center III
June 15th, 2002There is hardly a car on the street. Rubble trucks are driving up 3rd Ave. hauling away debris from downtown.
Busses are running; I took the M3 to work. Passengers normally rush for the good seats, but today they filed into the bus quietly, efficiently and politely.
People seem to carry this attitude into almost every task. “After you,” they say to one another in line for coffee.
Some restaurants and delis are open, but with limited supplies. Duncan Doughnuts has no doughnuts, just coffee.
My colleague created this up-to-date list of emergency contact information for airlines, blood drives, schools, transportation, shelters, hospitals and volunteer organizations. Most of the info is local, but there are some national numbers as well. He is updating it about every 30 minutes today.
