"This is surreal -
For years I have looked south out of my apartment window to see the Statue of Liberty and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center - now the Twin Towers are gone. Symbols of US might and power, our open society, has been challenged. Thank God, they did not get the Statue of Liberty. It's hard to explain the emotion I now feel as to what that represents....
...The whole southern skyline of Manhattan, as it existed two hours ago, no longer exists.
My God, what is man capable of doing to man, and in the name of what?"
