I wish to express my deepest sympathy to all Americans in light of the tragic event which happened today in NYC. I pray that noone associated with the FORUM suffered any loss.
The pictures on TV were shocking and sureal!
May God bless you all at this terrible time. |

I agree with you totally Keoki, This is a tragic, surreal event. My thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to all my friends and family in the states and to all those directly affected by this outrageous barbaric act of cowardice.
I am sure my fellow Australians and the free world agree with president Bush.

From another time and another country perhaps this poem may offer solace to temper the resolve
"STAND FAST"

My office is in a building across the harbor from Boston's Logan Airport. What a chilling feeling, to look over at Logan this morning, realizing that as I arrived for work 24 hours ago, the two planes that would take out the World Trade towers were departing for their fateful end.
May God's mercy be with all the victims, with their families, and with us all. |

Wow Bill, that's exactly what I was thinking. I'm still in a sort of state of shock.
I'm down here in the Marine Industrial Park area (in the Boston Design Center, near the Fish Piers) watching all the non-activity at Logan. It's like a ghost town over there.

Can I also pass on my sympathy from this side of the pond to all those affected by this.Its hard to belive its just like something out of a Hollywood blockbuster movie the only difference its real.
I hope and prey we have not lost any steel players to this terrible act. |

P Gleespen: Yeah, it really is so eery, to look over there at Logan now -- as mournfully still & silent as was Lower Manhattan through the night!
Fioana, yours and all others' outpourings of sympathy and empathy, expressed via the Forum from so many varied countries, is very touching. Makes us realize that in some ways, despite cultural differences, we really are all family in a genuinely small world. I had a friend who went down in Scotland on the Pan Am flight, another victim in another act of the same vile terrorism. One wonders now, given the collosal death toll that will be realized in the end, how many of us will find we've lost someone -- a friend, a relative, an acquaintance -- in this hideous tragedy.[This message was edited by Bill Fall on 12 September 2001 at 07:21 AM.] |

Thank you a thousand times for your support.
I just received word that one of our employees was on one of the Logan flights. I never met her, but we did work together over the network and telephone. |
