David Mumpower: “What's it like in NYC right now anyway? Can you even describe it?”

Woody: "I did in another post, but just so you know... It's completely surreal. feeling the first tower go
down and then looking at the TV and watching it live was fucked up.

"To be honest, I didn't dare leave my desk for a long time.

"Up on the roof of our office I personally witnessed a couple groups of folks after the initial plane jump off the 98 something floor hand in hand. That's what you guys didn't see on the news. There were hundreds of them, apparently. I could only stomach one group.
