Subject: Reporting in from Toronto
The CN Tower has been closed to the public. Most of the office buildings
downtown have closed and the occupants sent home. All the airports in
Canada are attempting to deal with the sudden influx of planes that had
American destinations but were diverted to Canada. The Mayor of Toronto
has asked Torontonians to open their homes to billet the Americans and
others who are now stranded here.
Even the Toronto hospitals have been put on alert in case aid is needed
and the Blood Donation centres are swamped with people who want to
donate blood.
My heart goes out to my friends in the US today, especially those in NYC
and DC. Please, please check in when you are able to.

Subject: Checking in from DC Metro area
I'm fine. I'm a US Federal Employee (NASA) who works in a Maryland
suburb of DC. I went to work late today and I had just arrived
when we were sent home as a precaution. I drove home via the
"back way" because traffic in the whole DC metro area was supposed
to be horrendous with all the governement agencies sending all
of their non-emergency people home simultaneously. Also some roads
and bridges were said to be closed to everyone except emergency
personnel.
Earlier the TV news said we were to keep the phone lines clear
but at this point I think it's ok to be online.

Subject: Holding On
I've watched the news all day, talked with my kids at school, cried and
read the messages to the list. I can't thank everyone enough for the
virtual hand holding that we've been doing today. I'm in San Angelo,
Texas. I live about 3 miles from an Air Force Training Base and only 100
miles from the B1 base in Abilene. Scary? Unquestionably, but right now
we're all trying to keep our lives going in as normal a fashion as
possible.
Every person (which is every person on this earth) who is or will be
affected by this unspeakable tragedy are in my thoughts and prayers.
I know in the days and months to come we'll all need to hold on to each
other and it's so comforting to know that my list family will be there.

Checking in from Minnesota. The Twin Cities airport, the IDS
building and the Mall of America were shut down. So were some
schools, but not the one where I take night classes. Most people
here are just in shock, which I imagine is the same all over.
I don't have web access at work, but co-workers have radios and there
is a TV in the hallway that always has the news channel on, which
most people gathered around on their breaks to watch. Seeing the
pictures is just incredible.
In an attempt to try and keep this on topic, what do you think the
reactions of Nick & company would be? I think Nick would angst a
great deal and LaCroix would mock the terrorists in a monologue as
the Nightcrawler. That would be a show to listen to.

LaCroix would rant, then he would try to get even. I don't think even he

would see it as something only vampires could do, bring the sob's to

It was so surreal! Like a movie...
I called my mum at work this morning a little before 9 and when I
transferred the call, instead of music was a report about finding a tail
section. She picked up the line and I made the comment that we had another
plane crash (thinking regular crash) and we both ignored it after that. Then
I got in my car about 90 minutes later and then learned that the WTC towers
were hit, as well as the Pentagon. All I could think of was- please God, let
this be someone's sick idea of a joke!
Why innocent people, we never did that to them! I could see them taking out
a military installation, but the toll of *innocent* people killed... I don't
know whether to cry or vomit :\

Subject: Re: DC reporting in
I'm in downtown DC, and it was absolute chaos at about 10:30 when
they let us out of class and evacuated all of the federal buildings.
Giving credit to the Metro Police Department, things had cleared up
completely in about two hours (I know that seems like a long time,
but we were thinking that the gridlock could continue for most of the
evening). Right now things are spookily calm downtown, obviously
Bush just got back, but there is a huge perimiter around the White
House and we've heard that there are National Guard members
mobilizing all around the city (VA and MD federalized their National
Guard earlier this afternoon).
I have to say that this afternoon was one of the scariest in my life,
and this is absolutely nothing compared to what is comming out of New
York right now. I'd like to back up what other list members have
said, blood donation centers here are overwhealmed (and the medical
personal are obviously busy elsewhere), I street had a backup of 7
hours because they only had two stations, so if you're in an area
where you can readily give blood (or have a car) please give blood.
My roomates and I are off to church, and you are in all of our
prayers (this is one situation that defies denomination).
Love and Prayers,
Anne

My first impression was that the attack was right out of a Tom Clancy
novel. IIRC, he had used something similar -- but with only one
airplane -- as a plot device. They interviewed him this afternoon as
I was driving to school (I take night classes). It struck me as
ironic that his comment was that no author could have dreamed up an
event of this magnitude as a plot. It feels surreal, though. One
person at my workplace remarked that he thought it was a War of the
Worlds joke for a few minutes. You know how some radio stations do
morning shows and have crazy stuff.
I'm in Minnesota, and the major targets here -- the IDS tower and the
Mall of America -- were shut down.

I'm in Houston, TX and work for a major oil company. We were sent home

major financial and military centers, one of the major centers in the
energy field could be next. Thankfully, this has not been the case.

With over 600 list members, I'm betting some of you are also B5 fans... And

Just finished checking my day's emails, and there was one with news of B5

London-based former housemate (and a mutual close friend) to say they're
both fine, but shocked by today's events.
If anyone wants a copy of Sarah's email to pass onto relevant lists, please

I heard about a plane crash on the radio and turned on the tv.
Ohmygodohmygodohmygod--Mom! Dad! Come quick! Then all day at work wishing I
had access to the news---what a time to be stuck at new store support!
I'm still shaking inside. An aunt and uncle sometimes go to Boston and I
can only pray that they weren't on that flight because due to a silly fight
with my parents they haven't spoken to us for over a year. God, I hope they
are okay.
Thank you, Canadians for helping out during this crisis, and God help all of
us. Javier might survive such an cowardly act of mass murder, but we humans
don't and I hope the culprits are caught soon.
Lacroix's worst punishment are too good for the creeps behind this!

I'm getting so sick of so many people on TV, mostly newscasters and government
officials, comparing this tragedy to Pearl Harbor. The WTC was not a military
installation, and though the Pentagon is a government agency, once again it's
not military. These were innocents, not military personnel who signed up
knowing the risks. I'm not trying to make less of the tragedy of Pearl Harbor,
but to me, this situation is even sicker/worse. Comparing it to Hiroshima and
Nagasaka is a much more accurate description. What a shame! So many human
lives (and animals, too) thrown away just to make a point!

Subject: FK reactions (was Re: Checking in...)
LaCroix would have nothing but scorn for terrorism, I think. He would see
it as inefficient and above all, cowardly.
Janette would have sympathy for the victims above all else.
Nick would not angst, I feel, but be very very angry and perhaps try to
track down those responsible.
Screed would shake his head and tsk-tsk; Vachon would reflect upon other
massacres, and Urs would weep.
Natalie would mobilize a blood drive and Schanke would be quite vocal in his
disgust.
Not so different from us, are they?
I forgot who started this topic, but I want to thank you for giving me
something to occupy my mind.

(1) And what of all of the lives Our Favorite Vamps have thrown away????
(2) While most of us here believe that these attacks were a shame and a
waste of precious lives, not every culture has the same values we do. Some
believe that the only lives with inherent value are those of male adult
believers; others believe that the value of life is to die well. In dying
for their cause, the terrorists died well (by their standards). I hope most
of us here don't think of judging others only by our own standards.

Not only that, but neither civilian not military personnel at Pearl Harbor
had any more reason to expect an attack than did those today. We were not
at war with Japan, we had committed no aggressive action toward them, in
fact the Japanese ambassador had just been visiting with President
Roosevelt.
>>While most of us here believe that these attacks were a shame and a waste

I also don't think we can turn a blind eye to the policies of our government
which have caused so many people to hate Americans so much. Check out this

I called Canadian Blood Services here, several times, but couldn't get
through. I'll try again tomorrow.

I'd like to add my condolences to Sunny's. They've diverted several flights
here to Winnipeg, and the hotels downtown are packed--people are having to
double up rooms just to get a place to sleep. The city is providing bus
transportation for everyone, and we're being discouraged from calling the
U.S. I've been online all day making sure my friends are all right, and I'm
glad to hear folks from the list reporting in.
Last night I fell asleep while making an FK tape for a friend--the last
episode I put on it was Black Buddha. When my mother woke me up this morning
I thought I was still dreaming.
My deepest sympathies to all. I knew someone (well, a friend of a friend)
who was on Flight 11, along with his wife, and just knowing that is making
me physically ill.
What a terrifying thing to have happen.
Eve.

As I recall, it was the Palestinians who started trying to mass murder
(drive into the Medditeranean Sea) the Isrealites. They stated as much then
put actions to words in such things as the 6 Day War. Do Israel soldiers
kill Palestineans? Yup. But usually because the Palestinians are throwing
rocks (which can be quite deadly as history shows and that is why the
kids/ect throw them.)
I support Israel in their fight to exist despite so many enemies and I will
continue to support them and any other group under such straights. If the
Arabs lost land---well, they shouldn't have started the war. I think it's
too bad Israel didn't get more. They need the buffer.
Are the people of Israel and the US saints? Heck no. But I like us and our
morals a sight better than people who do victory dances when thousands of
people die.

Hi Marg,
I'm fine, but I do have one friend who worked in TWTC
and we haven't heard from him yet. But that's not
unusual. There are just so many who haven't made it
home yet, and even if they are safe might not have
been able to reach anyone on the phone. Guess I'm just
heartsore like everyone else.
Ad Astra,
June
