From Adam Dickstein in New York City, NY USA...
I will give a more detailed account some other time, but suffice to say it is very unnerving. I live some 30 city blocks (barely just over a mile) from the incident at the World Trade Center. I was shaving and getting ready for work as my fiancé' was having breakfast, when we heard a low flying jet and then a strong but somewhat muffled boom.
Within moments the local news announced that a plane had struck one of the two "Twin Towers" that until a few hours ago made up the World Trade Center. We watched in horror as a live feed showed a tiny black dot and then a second explosion as another plane struck the other tower.
To any and all those viewing this message, a wish of safety and peace to those who have family or friends in any of the effected area.
