This was the title of the French paper, "Le Monde" yesterday.

I, among many other French, lost a friend, family or collegues in this tragedy. My whole office floor read with horror on the catastrophe as it unfolded on these boards, as all the news servers were overloaded.

We just want you to know that our hearts go out to you, fellow New York FTers.

Indeed, at this moment, we were all Americans.
