We were in an ex nunnery converted to offices etc. Initially it was reported as a small private plane hitting the WTC - the same thing had happened a couple of years earlier, then it just unfolded.....
Following the September 11th attacks, it was a miracle that St. Paul’s hadn’t suffered any physical damage. Not even one window had been shattered. The building sat directly across the street from the World Trade Center yet survived unscathed. People started referring to it as “the little chapel that could.”
The church gave credit to a giant sycamore for saving it from damage. The tree stood in the corner of the property, taking the brunt of the debris. Only the church’s organ suffered serious damage, but it was quickly refurbished and put back to use.
I dont think it has anything to say to us
Oto Peni Airport Hungary - I asked is this in real time or a video - and they said " Real Time"
and all the planes had to land - so many that they had to be moved ( by air) to make room. I said " they will put people in them. They cant resist doing that to save lulu" Then I pointed out that the luggage may go ta-ta, and there were AB screams of " Oh I cant travel without my luggage!" Others asked 'how you know dat?'
Do you want to stay here ( Oto Peni Hungary) for a week and the answer was no.....
The event s of London 2005 had much more to teach us. Starting with Br Transport Police locking themselves down in Tavistock Sq and refusing to come out.
down to abandoning the injured in the tunnels and no one cd be found to have given the order. The injured said well they all went as we screamed " dont leave us, we will die!"
The first report ( suppressed) began " went the day qutte well" ( Shades of Hungerford, same phrase) and David David commenting - "this report is so bad you are going to have to do the whole lot again" - Hence Lady Hallett s81 coroners inquest.
The secretary outside BMA Hse pretending to be a doctor. Ubfortunately the BMA rep who told her to take off her white coat was overheard by the Press. Beareaved parents beseiged Leddy H asking if their offspring had died as a result of this.
The designated First Aid station: Matron standing at the entrance of Gt Ormond St, insisting: we dont take adults here !
There was a lot more to learn from London 2005 .
I only read the BMA and Kings cross tunnels transcipts. Lawyers can talk at 250 000 words a day
