I just heard on the news that 5 NYC Officers and 5 Port Authority Officers
are on the second sublevel of Tower 1, all alive.  But there are structural
stability problems; let's hope they get out OK.  10 survivors pulled out at
once will really boost morale at the site.

ugh. ABC just reported that was a rumor. No survivors were found tonight :(

It's even worse than that.  I heard on NBC's network coverage when I got home a
while ago that the rumor was started by a woman who said she had gotten a cell
phone call from one of the buried victims-- her husband.  Investigation
later revealed there was no call and no husband.  Her lie caused a number of
rescue workers to put themselves in unnecessary danger and take precious time
away from searching for real victims, not to mention the emotional toll of
such a hoax.  She has been arrested for providing false information and
endangering lives.

I heard about that... I really can't believe that... why would someone do
such a thing at a time like this?  All I can think of is she is
Schizophrenic or something, because you just don't do that stuff, not unless
you are unstable or something??? I dunno... it's shocking.

It really bothers me when you flick on the news to only hear that there are
people taking advantage of this situation such as looting or taking things
from the deceased.  These people are almost if not, as bad as those who
commited these crimes and acts.  That's my opinion anyway.  America and any
other decent nation, just don't need that sort of nonsense.  It's a sad
thing.  I am sure that some people will just say that it's their way of
handling this situation... blah, blah, blah... but I don't care about
that... there is NO excuse!

The other worry is that (yes, I have donated money, but I made sure it was a
legitimate company) people, it's to be expected I guess... sadly enough, are
taking advantage once again of this situation by making bogus sites where
people are sending their money, and lots of it too!  It's going into the
wrong pockets and not to those who desperately need it.

I am so digusted by the trash that walks our streets and thinks they way
they do when they do the things I have mentioned and the things I do not
know about.  Call me a Pig for thinking that way, but I could have called
them worse.  These people should be ashamed of themselves.

Horribly Disgusted... Mel
