Oh my goodness. Selçuk I am so sorry to hear about your experience. My heart
goes out to you and your country man. I remember this event. I grew up in
California, earthquakes were somewhat common, though it is nothing compared to
what you went through. ::heartfelt::
Do me a favor also, I guess just understand and allow Ondrew to use a saying
common to Americans regarding this National Tradedy.
I grew up in a Buddhist House hold, so I don't use that saying either.
However, it does not offend or concern me. Let's just let it go.
Thank you for your sentiments in the original thread, those 5 years ago.

PLEASE LET THIS THREAD GO. WE ALL DESERVE A CLEAN SLATE TO GROW UPON.
Otherwise we are nothing.
Thank you,

9/11 Disaster Recovery by way of professional duty.
Voicestream wireless.
P.S. I remember working at the network operations center.
We had a conference call going 24hours a day with NYC officials and local rescue
services. There were people calling on their phones under the rubble.
When a call would come in, some people had low signal and the call would drop.
In that brief moment, we could look up that person's account as the call entered
the system, then we relayed the info to NYC officials.
I must say, out of all the memories I have, the most erie is hearing those calls
and working to help put a name to those desperate people.
Most I never knew what happened to them or if they ever got help. All I could do
is navigate the methods to determine who the calls were coming from. So they
would not be lost. As well as triangulate the location where the cell call was
recieved. So in a way, Selçuk, we share a similar experience. Though, you, had
much more of a reality than I did.
Let us both pause.
yours,
Eric Sophie
