What community members are saying about September 11, 2001

I see the WTC every day of my life. I feel there is like a void in my life now. I am very sad. Tonight was the first time I have been home to the wall street area since Tuesday morning. It is very surreal to walk down Fulton Street full of cops and the national guard.....to be asked for ID at every corner....to look behind me and see for the very first time, just space and smoke and the buildings that replace that view which belong to Battery Park city and the world Financial Center and to see and hear the fighter jets above as I come home to a place where my own back yard has tuned into a war zone. Last week, I pulled up to the WTC in my boyfriends car before we headed out to New Jersey for the day. I needed to exchange a belt, a medium for a small. at Banana Republic. I can't get those people who worked there out of my mind. I wonder if they are alive. And it amazes me when you see these people that you don't even know....to think that something really horrible probably happened to them. It is a rude awakening to how fragile we all are and a horrible way to to set you straight about how important it is to be nice to one another and not take each other for granted. I do not know these people at Banana Republic, but I am sure there is a friend or relative or a wife husband or a special friend who is deeply grieving out there. And that is especially waht mades me so sad....that others who are alive are feeling so much pain. CAL

We as a people need to be strong and make the best of our present situation. The good that has come out of this terrible tragedy is that it has united the world in it's fight against terrorism. It's leading people to question priorities iin life and is strengthening our compassion and spirits. People who are tempted to blindly strike out at foreigners in the U.S. need to realize that they then become as ugly as the enemy. Then the enemy wins by infecting souls with hatred. Blatant violence is not the path. We need to be very clever to stop this enemy. The warnings that were given before this tragedy should never have been ignored. Violence disrupts the calm and stable thinking we need right now to know how to act. And with clear minds and energy put to prayer, we can focus positive energy to beat the beast and find solutions we sorely need. We don't need rash arrogance to turn the ignorant and dangerous against us any more. If every 2nd person in this world prayed for peace, maybe we could see a miracle. Diana W. singer/songwriter

To those who care: One of my FDNY friends has been found. The other is still at large, but I'm sure that he's fine. At any rate, this is some good news. I've heard from almost all of my NYC friends... . I honestly hope that no one interprets any of my messages as "Christian" in nature. I believe in a Christian God, so that's who I pray to. But I've urged all my friends - and I urge all of you - to remember that to hate anyone for nationality or for religion is no better than what the terrorists did to us - kill people indiscriminately for being in America. I can't even say for being Americans, because as many of you know, the WTC houses companies from all countries, including Japan, France, England, Canada, Turkey, Israel, and just about anywhere else you can imagine. So please, everyone, don't think that by asking everyone to pray that by any means I mean pray to my God. Or please don't get offended, as that is not my intent. Prayer can mean whatever you want it to mean - quiet vigil, praying to one God or many, or simply taking a deep breath. Love your neighbor, even your global neighbors. This is a trying time for all of us. In other news, I have heard from one friend in Astoria who knows my two former roommates (both NYC firefighters.) He hasn't heard from either, but knows that both were called to the scene early, which is NOT good news. Please pray (or whatever) for them. Thank you. Sincerely,Grimace

I thank you for this e-mail it was very moving. I hope and pray that you and the employees at getgigs did not lose anyone in this gross act of terrorism. I also pray for the families who have lost love ones, for the wounded, and for those who do not know where their family members are. I was hoping to make it to New York City for auditions, but after this I am not sure if I will. I also want everyone to know Americans are very strong people and our spirits will not be broken. Please remember those innocent people who were killed in this cowardly act are in Gods arms and are forever safe and happy. Peace Shannon

Thank you for asking if i was ok i am. I have a best friend who was a figherfighter in Manhattan who was one of the first people at the world trade center he has vanished no one knows what happened to him.I just hope hes ok he was getting ready to leave his job when he was called to go to The World Trade Center that is the last we heard from him. I hope all firefighters, cops, and others that are missing to be ok.Thank you for your nice email. -Matt

This e-mail was sent to me and I thought I would pass it along. I hope you and your families and friends are all safe. This isn't much but it's something. Friday Night at 7:00 p.m. step out your door, stop your car, or step out of your establishment and light a candle. We will show the world that Americans are strong and united together against terrorism. Please pass this to everyone on your e-mail list. We need to reach everyone across the United States quickly.

To the staff of get gigs... My prayers are with all those who have suffered be it family or friends.. I live in a small community but we are doing our part as we feel we can..there has been an overwhelming amount of people that have lined up and set appointments to give blood. I feel the greatest thing is that a local radio station set up in front of the grocery store to take donations for money for those who have suffered and to-date I believe they have collected over 250,000.00 dollars. I believe there is even an article in the New York Times about this...the town in Bloomington-Normal in Illinois and I work in Bloomington. Today the flew a large flag the blew in the air by a crane (this thing was massive) and the local band went there at lunch and played The Star Spangled Banner it was very moving. There have been children that have given their saving, even brought their piggy banks, to donate to the cause. Just to let you know that the folks in the mid-west are trying to do what we can to help those in need. Always, Laura

Hello, Some of you have asked about my wife and how she's doing as an American Airlines Flight Attendant. Well, she's okay. She is a bit nervous and very much in a daze, as is her crew. She's what they call a Number #1, so she has to be strong for her crew. She is based here at LAX, but is now trapped in Boston. One member of the crew was called to replace, or trade places with another crew member,... That woman was on Flight 11. I think you know what happened. American has a therapist there at their Hotel to comfort their employees. As you may have read the Hotel was evacuated by Bomb Squads yesterday and there may be more since they're in the Financial District. Their agony just keeps on going. I feel helpless. As you may know, there are a few Islamic members to this group, as there are Christians, Buddists, Muslims, and others, I will not tolerate any verbal attacks on anyone in this group. I do not condem all white American Vets for what Timothy McVeigh did. If you are in this group you must want to be an ARTIST and artists, real artists are above politics, religion, and hate. Artists are like journalists of the human spirit and when their work touches us, we strive to reach up to another level. I believe if we're true to ourselves, will will be artists. Please be patient, the DV Feature Workshop will continue and be stronger. If you can, let's build this group to be the best and biggest we can. Invite all those that you think would be interested in what you can do in the way of acting and filmmaking. You may post on other groups and boards to let others know what we will be up to doing with our creativity. Art can heal, I truly believe this, Jerry

Steve, Thanks so much for your thoughts and recollections concerning Tuesday's disaster. Like so many others, I have found myself literally glued to the television at work and at home, trying to come to some understanding of how this could happen. Being an Army veteran as well, I have found myself wishing that I were still in a position to reenlist, to be able to help in some major way. When we as Americans view acts such as these from the comfort of our homes, it is so easy to simply isolate ourselves from them, to chalk the horror of a continent away up to the latest rantings of the maniac of the month. But when it happens in our own back yard, how do we react then? How are we, supposedly in the safest place in the world, supposed to think, to feel? It seems that the news reports are a never ending stream of information, designed to keep us informed as to the progress towards a return to some semblance of American normalcy. Through it all, though, I hope and pray that everyone, whether directly or indirectly involved in the rebuilding process, will take a moment to examine their own lives, their own mortality. We are without a doubt, the greatest nation on earth. I wish you and your family the very best through this horrible devastation, and thanks again for your poignant words. God bless - Sincerely, David and Tonya Daughrity Columbus, Indiana

Thanks for the email I'm fine now I was down there when the 2nd plane hit, actually NBC interviewed my boss and me... It was a terrible day for us all, and I hope our government has the balls to attack and destroy the monsters who has scared our nation... Sincerely, Tom

Steven, my heart goes out to all. I was in the midest of it in manhattan thank GOD my audition that was by the world trade center got canceled or i would have been in it totally or maybe even killed. God Bless All model/Actress kasey carter

There are no words that can be used to describe the feelings in our hearts to the people in New York, the Pentagon and the lives that were lost in Pennsylvannia. We share the same sentiment as Attorney Nathan regarding the vulnerability that all Americans feel as a result of this horrific tragedy. Our prayers are with all of the victims and their families. Most Sincerely, Carolina Lugo Artistic Director Brisas de Espana Dance Company

Hi everyone... I know what you are feeling right now and I deeply share your sorries about that terrifying event. I know that there are many suspicious thoughts about the reasons of it. As being a single cell of the Islamic community but mostly being a part of the HUMANITY, I condemn this DEMONS among all innocent people. Its written on my ID that I am a muslim but I believe in God only. And none of that evil-kind can be human. Leave religions behind. I love you all and please God save you all. ilter from Turkey PS. Another puppet of the evil, blown out in the very center of Taksim square, Istanbul, as a walking bomb, a day before NY. 6 people have died, 15 people injured. Thats the problem of all humanity. Not Jew's, Palestinian's, Turks or Americans. Damn it!

Dear Steve. Thank you for your e-mail. All of us oustside of NY want you to know so desperately that we want to help. Our news stations continuously report the unending lines at Blood Donor Centers all around the country. Being so far away, it's one of the few things we can do in addition to prayers, love and thoughts. All of you in the New York area are very brave and strong people. You are in our prayers my friend. Be safe. Judie Bell in Nashville

Dear Sirs, Together with the whole American people we feel deep sorrow about happened in the USA. Please, take our condolence. Together with you we pray for all gone away. God bless you and America. Yours, Faithfully Natalia, Roman, Polina Agoulnik Dance Theatre RUSSIA

I just want to thank you for doing this. It's extremely important for people to feel that they have a voice, and that we are all united as a community. Thank you, Miriam Lewis, Los Angeles

I don't know what to say except retaliate without starting a war and increase airport security.

To all of you: My heart,prayers and thoughts go out to all of you. What has happened over the past few days has affected me very deeply. Things just don't make sense. As I am writing this tears are flowing freely. I just want you to know we in Canada are all praying for you. As a nurse we were prepared in my hospital to be of any aid. My brother in law a grief counsellor is on standby. He has been informed that he will have to prepare himself and he is ready for the call to go to New York. My heaart goes out to all the families affected. Those poor people. My daughter continues to dance but it is difficult at this point. We are planning a trip to New York's dancing community in November and hope thing will be a little easier for the people in New York. God Bless

To the best of my knowledge, all of my acquaintances and loved ones are fine. We are fortunate to be in a part of the country that has not been directly attacked. We have been following recent events very closely and are full of sorrow for the victims and their families. I just wanted to send my thoughts and sympathy to all-- thank you for the considerate e-mail, and I'm wishing the best for everyone in this time of disaster. Misty

Dear Getgigs Staff, It was a relief to receive your email this evening, I will explain why. I am not an American citizen, and I do not live in the United States. I live in England where, other than the horrific news pictures and the general sense of extreme shock, fear and bewilderment, life for most has proceeded generally as normal. So it was a relief to me to hear from someone who has been deeply affected by the nightmare events, because even from such a distance, I feel like my whole world has been shaken to ruins today. Even though I'm not American, I hope you will listen to what I have to say, if nothing else so that you can appreciate how much the rest of the world feels the shock and the incredible, unbelievable loss you as a nation and we as the civilised world have suffered today. Everyone you meet in England has only one thing to talk about, all normal television programming has been suspended in favour of 24-hour news, etc. But I cannot seem to shake the feeling of watching those horrible images of crashing planes and fire and debris and the collapse of the New York skyline, something that I have not been able to express to anyone. I guess that is why I'm writing to you guys now. I have a tendency - I don't know why - to concoct images in my head of the most horrible occurrences I hear and read about. I keep imagining myself on one of those planes, or at work in the World Trade towers this morning. I have pictures in my mind that I will remember and fear for the rest of my life. And I wasn't even there. Everything feels different to me now, like an important part of our world was taken from us today. Like nothing makes sense anymore? Or that nothing matters. How can anyone go on in a world like this? How could anyone bring a child into a world like this? Where thousands of lives can be obliterated in a single day, serving no purpose but to please a madman or two, whose excuse to themselves and to the world boils down to some petty "religious" dispute. I am not religious, I don't understand it, personally, but I am absolutely sure that no religion on this earth demands the sacrifice of thousands of innocent lives. So where does that leave us? Only with the blackness of men's hearts. If such plans can be made by human beings, then I worry I will never feel safe or comfortable again. I worry greatly for the safety of the few good friends I have in the capitol region of the USA. I feel an ache inside, I am dreading tomorrow morning when we may know more about the true extent of this massacre. I am dreading the news reports and the numbers... ten thousand dead, twenty thousand dead. People keep saying the words "Pearl Harbour" - which in my mind cannot begin to compare to this disaster - but this was no war, it wasn't any battle or invasion. This was a murder. A slaughter of innocents and I feel so, so sorry for all who are affected. You are all in my thoughts forever. I am so sorry. David Nottingham, England. Tuesday September 11th, 2001

My experience is not very profound sounding on the surface, but I concider myself one of the luckiest girls right now... I was supposed to join the military last November to be stationed in DC or to just do the guard and work for John Johnson publishing in NYC. Unhappily (at the time), I got delayed and went to college in Indiana instead. Then yesterday I got a call from my recruiter. I was supposed to be in Indianapolis at the military base there today, but he told me I had been delayed again. I was sooo pissed off until I realised that I would have been there when all the shit hit the fan. Even though I was not in New York today or even in DC, I have been so affected by this. I feel scared, shocked, but very very incredibly lucky. What I thought was the worst thing that could have happened to me ended up being the even that saved my life. Connie

GOD BLESS YOU.....GOD BLESS AMERICA......THANK YOU FOR THE PERSONAL NOTICE.....WE ARE AND WILL BE ...AS ARTISTS.....AND AS THOSE DEDICATED TO LOVE PEACE AND HAPPINESS.....UNITED IN ....whatever actions and attitudess nessceary...at this momnet......GOD bless you and the continueity of your effort to maintain the proliferation of harmony melody and rhythm......more neccessary now that ever////// Love you.....in the name of GOD .....and the USA.......same as it ever was.....thank you....AEY .........with LOVE PEACE AND HAPPINESS TO __YOU___!!!

Hi, I would like to offer my simpathies for all who have suffered in this awful event I am sure all god fearing right minded people in the UK share in the grief felt by those effected people in the USA. God Be with them all. GARY BANNON. (actor/comedian/poet)

Hi thank you for the update. I am very sorry for such a tragedy to hit one of most beautiful cities. My prayers are with you all. Kata

I am lucky I am back in England now..although I was at the World Trade centre 1 month ago... Thankyou for your concern. Much appreciated. Dave Bowles

Dear sir,I am located in the U.K and if i could help any of the people out in the U.S,the victims of this atrocity from such a cowardly attack from the evil bastards that have killed thousands of innocent lives i would gladly do so.Prime minister Tony Blair has just held a press conference in London and i believe we should help our allies in their time of need.The argument here is whether Great Britain should be involved in another countries war,but at the same time it is directed at the whole world,I am angry that national security is breached and those poor people who were on all 4 planes died at the sacrifice of proving an evil so intelligible that those evil terrorists and Bin Laden are the main perpetrators of such a planned attack to co-ordinate such mass destruction on a shocking scale,I pray for those people on all the planes apart from the terrorists who i damn to hell with the immense suffering that can not even come close to the loss of family life.I pray again for the firefighters and rescue services that went in to help the people in the trade centre.In the U.K i hear the loss to be around 250(unconfirmed).A lot of the world including here in the U.K are upset and my sympathies go out to all of you.If there is a war then i can say that i truly stand by your country and i hope to god Mr Blair does only what i deem to be just and stand by America So terribly sorry at your loss and those affected,i have been in the trade center and have been to New York twice and all of us here are extremely angry that terrorism will not be tolerated and any harbouring and concealement of those bastards responsible will be waged with war I pray for all of you Sue 27 year old

I have read your description and thoughts on this terrible occurence and send my love to people who have lost their loved ones. What is going on in this world?? Yes, vulnerability is the correct word. One feels totally powerless against these terrorists! Kind regards, Lucy

Thank you for inquiring on the horrible turn of events yesturday. Me and my family are all alright as well as friends that i know of. My thoughts are with everyone. We can pull through this. Erin Selden

A Letter to the Youth We are the future. We are the youth. This is our world now, and it was forever changed today. Someone, somewhere, decided it was there right to rape us of our innocence. This injustice should not go unpunished. But we should not fight back with hate, this should be fought with love. This is our generations turn to have it's voice heard. We have grown up in a place and time that knows many truths. We know that diversity is what makes our world a beautiful place, it makes our world possible. We know a painting without it's many colors is not art. REMEMBER ART. We know talent is nothing if we all have the same ones. Our world needs thinkers as well as feelers to survive. REMEMBER TALENT We know that even though Canada and the United States of America are different countries, we are of the same world. We are allies. We are friends. REMEMBER SUPPORT We know that no matter who you are, you have a responsibility to love and help your neighbors. REMEMBER LOVE This is our time to grow up and tell the world that we will not let anyone destroy our future. Evil showed it's cowardly face today through an act of terrorism. But we must remember two proven facts: Love Conquers All and Justice Will Prevail. Tia Scarborough Ontario, Canada

Thanks Nathan, I'm fine, but a freind of mine in NY has not heard from a freind of hers at the T T'

Dear Steve Nathan, Thank you for sharing your impressions with us. I personally fear for many of my fellow artists and pray that their spirit will remain strong through these extremely difficult times. Moral is down, but, we have to keep moving forward. We are proud of the people of New York, their strength, and their courage. Yours truly, Susana

Working approximately two blocks from the White House always makes you a little cautious. You never know when something will happen - the possibility is always there. I have never seen the kind of chaos that I saw today in the streets of Washington on 14th street. Total gridlock, the sounds of sirens, confusion and military planes overhead. It was surreal, like a scene out of an action movie, or old war news footage of Beirut. The elevator in the National Press Building was silent, even though there were several passengers - the metro was the same later in the day as I was making my way home to Alexandria, VA. The DC streets were full of crowds of people who couldn't believe what was happening and who were, seemingly, shocked into immobility. Cars were not moving either, but filled all lanes. More than anything, I wanted to hug someone. I got the chance as I met a friend at her apartment in DC on her birthday, my shelter for a few hours until things quieted down. Tomorrow, I will take a deep breath as I head out to work and pray that nothing else bad happens...Ever.... Carla

I am in Los Angeles, originally a NYer with relatives still there.. Ive cried and I have raged and now I feel I must get this message out Look to our children , Look to them for victory and for strength I would like to share something . This Saturday the Sokka Gakkai (Value Creating Society) was scheduled to have an exciting peace rally at USC. 10,000 people were easily expected. The reason I mention it is that we work from a grass roots base; from children to adult.. Our group recently went into the Santee High School situation to offer counciling.. this was their peers that went in - children talking to children. Victory over Violence was the theme for our festival.. The people who would be performing ( dancing, acting, singing) were all our children.. I am going to end this with the pledge and if any of you are interesting in our organization please write. or in signing the pledge contact me at anathan38@aol.com Victory Over Violence MY pledge I WILL VALUE MY OWN LIFE recognixing that a lack of self identity and hope for the future lay at the roots of all violence. I will reach beyond my limitations, taking concrete steps each day to uncover my real potential. I will never give up on my dreams, even if they seem impossible. I WILL RESPECT ALL LIFE recognixing that violence comes in many forms. I will not isolate myself but will create an enviornment where others feel comfortable and can be themselves. I will see beyond superficial differences and reflect my own behavior. I WILL INSPIRE HOPE IN OTHERS With courage, I will resolutely stand up against violence , be it verbal, physical or passive and teach others through my own example. I will support others and encourage them to follow their dreams. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo other web sites www.vov.com Action for our future today

I'm so glad to hear you guys are alright. I will be thinking and praying for the victims and their family.

I would just like to say from all in the united kingdom/London we are thinking of u all and send our deepest sympathy to all those families who have lost loved ones or still dont know of their loved ones whereabouts. it is a tragedy beyond belief and we also are in shock. Tears are with us all as we watch the coverage on TV. our thoughts and love are with u. Im here for you always if you need me. luv courtney Denham xxxx

I just want to thank you for this email to me. I'm from Brooklyn and have a few friends that have friends that didn't make it through this horrific event. I am doing my best to find more of my friends to know if they are safe or even alive. To everyone out there that has friends and relatives or even anyone that does not know anyone in these effected areas, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. This affects not only NY and D.C., but the entire nation and world. Thank you again for the supportive email and encouragement. sincerely, Christopher Shafer Christopher Joel Shafer

My thoughts are with you and I hope the whole country will start to care and never forget this day.

How wonderful that you chose to share this....we are all together....

Dear Steve, I am in a state of positive motion, I have had a feeling of sorrow sense Sunday and the only way for me to cope was to play my drum and send blessings of good will to everyone, now is the time for ALL HUMAN BEINGS, to realize that there are negative actions happening everywhere on this planet, and we must not submit in anyway or form to this tool that will destroy All of Humanity. I say take the time to be patient, kind, and caring,in prayer and in deeds...We Only Have ONE EARTH, we should take a moment to spread love, than plant Hate. These are just my thoughts for getting through. Sincerely, Margaux Hayes

Thank you for your story and concern! im sure it means a lot to everyone. my prayers go out to you all as well. God bless you all

Thank you, Steve, for your account. I think that most of it mirrows the thoughts and feelings of the whole nation, altho, the details and proximity are specific. My daughter was in a building nearby to the WTCenter and witnessed a lot of what went on in the area as the buildings burned and collapsed. She was one of those people that ended up taking the trek to Brooklyn, and then on to Queens, mostly by foot. The country is grieving NY, this terrible devastation and all those directly affected by this act of assalt and violence. Tonight, you will be in my prayers, too. Sincerely, Nancy

Thank you for the email regarding this terrible assault on America. I am in Canada, but I have spent the day watching the news, and feeling the terrible despair and sadness being felt by Americans everywhere and being unable to help. While watching this, I discovered thru my parents in England, that I had an uncle and aunt bound for LA, that morning. They had left England to visit the States, and were changing their flight in NY. It was not until later that we found out that they were ok. For many hours, I have prayed not only for them but everyone affected by this. My prayers go to everyone, even those not personally affected, because I know there are millions of people like myself who have been affected emotionally. Anita

Wow...So awful. Thanks for the email.

Today is another day in infamy for our country. My thoughts and prayers are with all of us. I along with many others have friends or family who may have been in the area and still don't know what has happened to them. I hope this is a moment that we prove to world that we are united and that this disaster will not be taken lightly. A moment of silence for all those who went to work today not knowing this was going to be their last. It goes to show how precious life can be. Best regards, Kevin Greer

Just a word to say let all our thoughts and prayers be with all those poor people who suffered in yesterdays events in the USA.

Hi thank you for the update. I am very sorry for such a tragedy to hit one of most beautiful cities. My prayers are with you all. Kata

Thank you for your concern, yes all is well here. Crystal Blue 60

YOU HAVE OUR SYMPATHY. Maria Tatai Orkestika Movement Theatre, Budapest, Hungary
