I was at work almost done for the day, when all this happened. The very first thing I did.. was called my two sister in laws.. ones daughter worked as a flight attendant, the other was a son who lived in that area. We heard from the son who lived in NY right away..as he called hi mom to say he was okay..and then started sending pictures of all the smoke etc..he was seeing from his highrise apt. Now for my neice..it took us 4 hours to get confirmation, that she was NOT on any of those flights.
