I took my visiting sister and brother-in-law around Manhattan on the waterways cruise last Saturday and saw a group of kayakers down by the west side piers. Just wondered if anyone from the BB was there. We also went up the World Trade Center. I stood out on the top and wondered to myself how long such massive structures would last - would they still be sound after 100 years?
You can imagine my perspective on this catastrophy. God have mercy on those unfortunate souls. The little New York Puerto Rican guy who ran the elevator had also been there last year when I went up. Great personality. I hope he worked weekends. My condolences and prayers to all with relatives involved.
