Folks, during all of this and admist this terrible tragity, we here at
Lugnet came together. I found information not avail. to me otherwise, as
well as a place for general support and a place to talk about the shock we
all experienced. We also shared concerend about people in the area as well
as recving support from Suz and Todd to use this forum in part to
communicate to each other as regular routes were somtimes unavailable.

I was also happy to report the efforts of my Company (Voicestream Wireless)
in our frantic push to provide Cell service to those in need.

I would also like to let all of you know that we are trying to use what's
called a Microwave shot technique to bring up Cell Site service to those
locations where the public land line interface has been either wiped out or
rerouted by Verizon to serve areas presumable needed by rescue officials.

In any case I am proud to be a part of this community and I know we are all
deeply concerened about all of this.

I would ask that we try to refrain from in depth convos on why what and how.
I know this is a chat forum and these types of convos are going to happen.
It's just impossible to make sense of a senseless act. Let's keep our heads
straight and focus on promoting a healing attitude.

Bless all of you.

Eric, Thanks for uploading the pics your associate sent you. This is the true power of the web, small communities efficiently sharing information. For much of the day of the 11th the only way to get information online was mailing lists, email, (...) (23 years ago, 13-Sep-01, to lugnet.people)

(...) all (...) I am proud too. Here in Italy we have been following the events with great anxiety. ALL the TV channels stopped their program to send special edition news. It was 3pm. We stopped working too to follow the news, and many of us spent a (...) (23 years ago, 13-Sep-01, to lugnet.people)
