Let us never forget -- 9/11

^^^ And you ARE aware that back then you could not make a cell call from any altitude above a few thousand feet right?

So How Were Those 911 Cell Calls Made?

And for a few minutes--the only time in my life I've felt this way--thought these might be the last minutes of my life.

I looked for the book--it can be downloaded, and as I belong to the WTC survivors organization, I might be able to find someone who has a hard copy. It's interesting, because I see she focuses a lot on the health issues of 9/11. As a matter of fact, the WTC Health Registry, which does regular surveys and is tracking is healthwise, both physically and psychologically, called me yesterday to remind me to submit my info. I'd better get to it!

I'd get a hard copy. You'd go blind trying to read all those pages on a computer screen and it would cost you a mint in printer ink to print it out even if you could.

If you're interested in what she's done on health, she did write another book in the 90s called "Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health". That one will really open your eyes on the health situation here in the US and in other countries. And of course "The Coming Plague" is a classic when it comes to infectious disease. Be warned, those are both 600+ page books. She gave a free lecture at UC Santa Cruz back in the 90s and I was able to go hear her talk. People were crammed into that auditorium. We were like sardines in there, but she gave a great talk.

I imagine you have a special perspective about 9/11 then. And I have to admire you - I'm not sure I could have gone through that and then be able to post anything about it even years later.
