Actually, there are estimated as many as 50,000 dead. This is probably the
highest figure. Prayers should be prayed especially for the over 50 missing
police officers and over 200 fire fighters who most probably gave their lives
in order to try to rescue and save the people in the world trade center.
I don't know what I can and can't say at this moment, but I am a member of
the New York State National Guard, who is going to deploy to New York City
on most likely Friday. Length of time in undetermined. So that might mean
my brickwarz participation (in Newmarket, Ontario) would be negligible.
Regardless, let us remember this, it is going to take a whole lot of time
to clean up after this terrorist disaster. 2 101 story buildings collapse into
5 to 5 1/2 stories of rubble, with many fellow human beings inside. A
tragedy....
Regretfully, and prayerfully yours,
Benjamin Medinets
