Osama Bin Laden: dead

[PamNY]

If anyone is interested in local WTC reaction, our neighborhood newspaper did a good job. There is nothing profound or surprising.

You will notice mention of people who are still suffering and dying from exposure to dust/toxins while working at the site; I don't know how well that story is getting out, but we are very aware of it locally.

It turns out that quote I posted was misattributed, but for me the sentiment is the same.

Thank you for posting that link, it was very moving to read first hand stories from those who were impacted the most. No matter that the rest of the USA and others worldwide grieved over this, it's the people of NY who took it in the chops that day in a way that others just cannot comprehend.
