Safe and sad in Seattle. Bro is stranded in Denver and is thinking about hiring a car to MKE. Glad he called.
Trip to Iran may be postponed, there is always next year.
May you all be safe.

Grounded at work. Am in shock and disbelief about the whole matter. Hawaii in five days, but will cancel the trip.

I am grateful to be home in San Francisco. I was on UA863 last night from JFK which was delayed 4 hours due to weather. The pilot announced that the delay could last for hours and if anyone wanted to get off and fly today, they could do so. The pax in front of me (1B) and several of his companions in C were on the phone to UA and got rebooked on the 8 am flight today. I only hope that was the 8 am flight from JFK and not EWR since the EWR flight was the tragic flight 93.

I was evacuated from my midtown Manhattan office and am now safe at home in Metuchen NJ. Although a planned trip to London & Stockholm this Thurs is now in doubt.

Safe at home and very happy to say all three sons who work in NYC are also okay. The oldest was taking off from EWR when the first plane hit the Trade Center. He's stranded in Detroit but alive and well. He's with the FBI so he and fellow agents were going to drive back to NY. The other two were trying to get home, one to Woodside, the other on Metro North.
My thoughts and prayers go out to those still waiting to hear about loved ones.

Safe and sound in NJ. We are a bedroom for NYC in the Princeton area. My wife, Sondra, as Mayor, has to deal with issues like what to do with "latchkey" kids whose parents work in NYC and can't get home tonight. The problems multiply the more you think about it.

Safe, sad, but happy that my daughter is between jobs this week and is safe out on the island and had not gone into the city today.

Safe at home after trip to LGA cancelled...still in disbelief, though. The videos still just don't seem real.
Glad to see some posts from my new friends from the 9/7-9 AA TPE run...hope all are well.
Thoughts and prayers to the fine folks at AA and UA who were just doing their jobs today and got caught up in this nightmare.

At 9:00 eastern time, my sister called me to tell me about the crash.
She knows I fly.
The hardest thing for us here in New York is not being able to do anything.
I'm in White Plains. That's 30 miles from the trade center. All inbound roads / bridges / tunnels into the city are closed.
This is just the beginning. Many of us here will be attending funerals soon. This is so sad. All of us know people that work down at the WTC.
Truly a sad day here in NY.
Please go give blood.
