我9月10号飞到芝加哥，11号上午在公司培训，突然有秘书过来说世贸中心遭到袭击，于是大家把电视调到CNN，就直接观看到第二幢大楼被撞击。 - Re: 璁板康9銆�11---9銆�11 Remembersposted on 09/11/2007
一晃六年了。
那天我上班晚了，一到公司，发现我们那层楼空无一人，知道出大问题了。找到交易大厅，发现全公司人都站在那儿看电视，第一栋楼已经起火，不一会儿，眼看着飞机撞向第二栋，后来楼就塌了。
我们公司在WTC里有一层楼，死了十几个人。听一个逃出来的人说，那天因为没有车，步行回家，走了十几个小时，半夜才到家。 - posted on 09/12/2007
It has been 6 years since 911. Back in July this year, during one of the conversations with a psychologist regarding to my duaghter, he stated that the fact that she presented none, zero acknowledgement about the event must be indicators of some sorts of post traumatization symptom. I have been puzzled about it myself all these years.
How could she forget all of it? Ashes like in xw's photo were found in our balony that day, not to mention we spent the whole day walking out of it.
Last night, she was surfing the historychannel.com website for her homework assignment. "Mom, I need your help", I went over and sit down with her. Failed to jump to Sept 24, the day she needed to write about for her homework, video clip about 911 was playing on the screen. We had never watched any news about 911 after 911, but yesterday I decided to let that going for a while. Staring at the twin towers with thick smoke, her eyes frozen, and talking stopped. At the moment, I knew she did not forget.
Like walking on the ice, I started the conversation again. Remember that day? She tried to deny, followed bby a clumsy gesture. I did not give her chance to sink back into it. "you were in Sunshine room, just moved up to the rainbow room, right?" (I was still not sure if she really forgot or blocked-out herself as suggusted by the psychologist. So I intentionally said the wrong room name.) She let out an innocent smile (yes! I was so happy), "Oh, yeah! I remember!" Finally (thank god!), she admitted she remembers first time after so many years. "It is dinosaur room, not rainbow room." ("Rainbow room" was another room for the same age as kids going to "Sunshine room". )
We then exchange more details about that day, we talked about the bus we took shelter in, we talked about Amy, her teacher who hold on tight on her hand and ask her not to let go, we talked about the apple she shared with her classmates on bus (after she got lost away her mom and grandma for 40 minutes, she could not talk for weeks afterwards.) we talked about the plum she ate on the way to my office, given by some volenteers outside a church, and my officemate Predrage who walked us to meet her daddy and all the way home later that day, etc, etc.
At the end, she curdled with me and said, "no more thick smoke, right? "No, I gurantteed her, "no more big noise, right?" "No", I said it outloud. "No more evil people?" she was not done yet. "I said, "No, well, even though there are evil people or evil things to happen." "BUT, as soon as mommy is here, no worry, I will protect you."
She was four at that time, exactly one and half month after her four year's old birthday, a preschool student at Trinight Preschool at the foot of Wall Street.
We started the day as any other normal day. We took the ferry across Hudson River, passing Liberty Statue, landed at Pier 11, the river end of Wall Street. We took our morning routine as usual by passing the complete Wall Street, entering Tirnity Church, stopping for a short prayer inside the main hall, walking down the church, got out from the back of the church and getting out from the gate on Church street. The school is across the street from the Church, one and half block away from WTC, next to the American Stock exchange.
To make the long story short, we, including me (luckily), along with many kids and teachers from the school were trapped inside the basement of the church buildings when WTC was hit and after the first building collapsed. We all escaped before the second building went down (even luckier, thanks to the head of security of the Trinity Church, who had experienced the previous two terror attacks in that area, one at WTC, another one in subway station beneath Marriotte Hotel.)
We pretty much spent the rest of the day waiting in the thick smoke and walking back home. At 2pm, we talked into my office building at 24th street. At 8:30pm, we walked across George Washington bridge. At 10:10pm we arrived our river front apt, awaiting by ashes on balony and the two torches continuing to burn for weeks, visible from our bed.

我可能是离911最远的人了。至今我还没有看过事件当天的录像。
那天我午后才去学校，前晚打机到深夜。学校里静悄悄的，办公楼的门也锁了，奇怪。一个中国同学帮我开门，见到我就说，你怎么什么都不知道呀，两个飞机把世贸大厦撞了，楼都塌了。我说你开什么玩笑。他说是真的，你自己去看吧。我看了新闻，感到世界末日就要到了。想打电话找朋友讲讲，可能是我反应太迟了，没人愿意跟我聊。我很麻木的回家去了。家里没有电视，我也不想看。那些日子全世界的电视都在反复播放当天的录像。我闭上眼睛不要看。我不要听。我也从来没提起过这件事。今天是第一次。

那天，我去上班的路上就在收音机里听到有驾飞机撞到了双子座上。一开始还说情况不甚明了。过了一会儿又说是两架飞机撞上去了，显然不是事故而是人为的。办公室的休息区有电视。电视机前堆满了人。我那天是在那电视机前度过的，没有任何心思去工作。看到两座大楼轰然倒下，眼泪流出来了。
几天后在美国的某中文网站上看到居然有很多愤青在为这件事情拍手叫好，纵情欢呼，甚至把那些照片艺术化，搞得很滑稽和幽默，那个恐怖主义的头目成了大英雄。我为这些同胞的无知和愚蠢感到悲哀。我向那个网站的注册人抗议，居然毫无反应。于是我就警告要把这些贴子翻译成英文，然后送到美国的黑客团体中去。这下子那个网站才很不情愿地删除了那些歌颂恐怖主义的贴子。 - posted on 09/12/2007
我想有两个原因。一个是你的心理保护机制起作用了，加上你可能本来就对时事不是太注意的。这并没什么错。相反，我则粘在电视屏幕上粘出病来。两种反应可能都证明了这个事件的严重性。

911那天我在夏威夷开会，是会议正式开始的第一天。我没有早晨看新闻的习惯，在电梯里听两个人在低声说着世贸大楼，着火。。。会议有不少空军的人参加，因为他们穿着制服，我就尽量不去听。出了电梯有会务的人一边指给早餐的地方，一边让我们摘下badge，并让把印有会议logo的书包反过来背，说是吃了早饭就完事了，今天会议取消。大家都在窃窃私语，我莫名其妙，也不好问。终于看到认识的同事，才知道出了什么事。
早饭后回到房间看了一天的电视。第二天会议还是取消，又看了大半天的电视。到第三天，好像是转成orange code，可以开会了，于是四天的talks排在两天里讲，除了吃饭所有的breaks都取消。
那几天在旅馆的大厅里就是看着人们拎着行李去了机场又回来，又去又回来。。。911当天公司给大家发了email，让出差的人汇报行踪。秘书听说我在哪里，就说那不用着急，什么时候回来都行。当时觉得自己是在一个孤岛上，世界之外，也确实是。 - Re: 璁板康9銆�11---9銆�11 Remembersposted on 09/12/2007
我当时在上海的一家著名房地产公司里任职.
第二天早上到公司,办公室主任(此人人品一向很差)一脸阴笑地跑来说,你们美国出事了,你感觉如何?
后来总经理来了,满面春风,房子全部卖掉时都没见他这么高兴的.他说,打得好,打得好!
我的朋友在国内出差住酒店,大家在大堂里看电视,所有在场中国人全部拍手喜气洋洋,而一边几个老外全部在流泪.
不能怪这些中国人,他们是被洗过脑的. - Re: 璁板康9銆�11---9銆�11 Remembersposted on 09/12/2007
Yes, it's 9/11 again. It's overcast and drizzling in New York city.
Below are photos taken around the noon time today. Yes, I know, they look pretty much the same as the ones a year ago. But I assume the people there were all different.

风子每天在洛克费尔中心，人气很盛的地方啊，911那天那里不知是什么光景。今天是犹太新年，纽约的学校放假，纽约的公司里也许多人休假，洛克费尔中心恐怕还是会人头涌涌。当年要是选了另外一个工作，就会在那一带上班，就不会送孩子去三一教堂幼稚园，那一天的经历也就会全然两样。
那种体验绝对黑暗的经历，是一种里程碑。人短暂的这一生中，这样的里程碑可以有多有少，有大有小。但在生命之灵漫长的旅途中，这些坎坎则是每一次成长的契机。
患难与共，纽约人那一天团结得就如同胞兄弟姐妹。我的邻居在中城开旅游公司，每天进城比较晚。他们那天早上正在开近路穿过自由神公园要进荷兰隧道进城。自由神公园是看曼哈顿高楼景观最好的地点，第一架飞机从他们头顶轰隆而过，他们还在说这机长迷路也没迷成这样的，话没说完见到飞机对着世贸狠撞进去。Angtigeni后来告诉我，“We are attacked!”她和老公停下车，楞在那看着，忽然间大喊起来“Tiffani!!!”他们想起我女儿在三一教堂幼稚园，在那下面.他们当即掉头回家给我打电话。
从早八点多世贸被毁，到下午一点多钟。我手上抓着两个电话，一个黑莓，一个女儿同学的零食包，一条半米见方的小被子，没有一分钱或者手袋、手提电脑、公文包以及钱包和身份证（都是半年后才拿回来的）。没有一个电话打得通，但黑莓上的伊妹不断，很久没联系的朋友也有，来自世界各个角落，每个人都比在浓烟中的我更知道发生了什么事。
一点左右，当我和女儿终于走出下城，我的手机终于有信号，收到的第一个电话是邻居Angtigeni跟Greg的电话，他们从一早就在打，后来是自动重拨。Greg仔仔细细地告诉我他中城公司地址，和中城他父亲的地址，让我跟女儿一起去那。我告诉他们我们计划先去我公司，再跟老公会合然后决定下一步去向。
