[QUOTE="Talvisota, post: 98064, member: 1292"] Well. This will be rather different. As I am 11 hours ahead of NY time, it was evening, and my wife of three months and I had just recently moved into our new place and cable nor phone was not yet installed. At about, oh, I guess 730 pm, our friend, a Canadian, ran over and told us what was going on. Of course, you don't noramlly believe someone when they mention topics like these. ANyway, we ran across the courtyard to her place to check out CNN as she was getting frazzled watching it alone. We arrived 5 minutes before the second tower fell. Immediately, my cell phone started ringing - I have several US employees, and we had to figure out what to do. Of course, I knew that all would be fine and I said to hold tight for now. A few minutes later the Cultural Affairs Officer of the Embassy called me and we decided it indeed was best to do so. The next morning I went to the embassy annex to usher all employees home; we were going to be closed for the rest of the week. Officials from the Ministry of Education (the Ministry with whom I deal with in development issues) came to pay their respects, and it was after speaking with them and our local employees that I learned that the Russian news was spouting typical incorrect garbage. They were reporting that 4 had crashed into places, but 10 were still missing!!! (You think that is bad, you should have heard them during the 1999 Kosovo/Serbia shindig.) The next few weeks were rough, with Kyrgyzstan going on voluntary evac and I think Turkmenistan did, too. Lots of back and forth with DC which was the worst. We were FINE here, as Kazakhstan is quite stable. However, all of YOU were completely freaking out, and it seems, still are! board-brotherhood to you all, [/QUOTE]
