I was at work when everything happened. My boss was on a business trip so the phones starting ringing off the hook. Everybody was wondering where he was and if he was okay. I had to explain to everyone that he was in Detroit and he DROVE. His wife was in Amsterdam and she couldn't fly home because they had cancelled all flights.

I didn’t get to see anything until around noon. One of my co-workers went home on her lunch hour and taped CNN for an hour and brought the videotape back to work.

I tried to call my uncle but his phone was tied up for hours. I finally just sent him an e-mail to make sure my cousins were okay. One of them lives in Yonkers with his wife and the other one works at the Museum of Natural History in DC.
