Yes, there were some cars that stood in the lots like gravestones because their owners perished.

For me, there were two heartbreakers:

First, I went to the local hospital in the afternoon to give blood. Corridors were crowded with people who had the same idea. They told me they couldn't take my blood that day, but took my phone number. Called the next day to say they didn't need blood. Reason (unsaid): few survivors.

Also, our local rescue squad set up at the Summit train station because NJ Transit was able to operate out of Penn Station that night. They only treated four people. Same hearbreaking reason.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
