On 9/11, I think back on those I wrote about that day and in the days after. Near Ground Zero, I encountered a firefighters union official who told me he feared 1/2 of the 400 FDNY who responded were dead. I called it in and @AP sent a bulletin. The number turned out to be 343.
I met Marcos Velazquez, whose brother, Jorge, was a security guard for Morgan Stanley on the 44th floor of the South Tower. azdailysun.com/a-waiting-fami…
I met Karen Carlucci, whose fiance, Peter Frank, worked for Fred Alger Management on the 93rd floor of the north tower. 9/11 turned her into a widow before she could become a bride. the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2002/J…
I wrote about people on the 92nd floor of the north tower, who were on the dividing line between life and death. nytimes.com/2003/09/10/us/…
19 years ago. It feels distant but also still so vivid. #neverforget
