A recent company announcement reads:
Oct. 26th, 2007 03:06 pm"There has been a bomb threat received by one of the tenants of [our building] that is not specific as to details of the threatened event. The police have been conducting an investigation of the premises, including with dog squads, and have turned up nothing. No recommendation has been made by the police or other authorities that we evacuate the building, although one or two tenants have taken it upon themselves to do so. The police do not believe this is a credible threat, but we felt that our employees should have the benefit of this information nevertheless."
Funny thing is, as I made my way out of the PATH station and out of the WTC hole up to street level with people from my firm this morning, I thought to myself, "I wonder how they do this? Every day walking by the scar that represents a traumatic moment in their lives. They come in here every day and look at it, reminded of the horror."
Then I realized that I'm one of them. And now, I sit here in my office with people around me laughing about the bomb threat. Strange.
