NY同時多発テロの日の日記です。
大学から家への帰りの様子です。
After I left the campus,
I first went to the gas station to refill the gas.
It was open as usual.
When I left the gas station and was waiting at a trafic light,
I realized someone in front of me honking horn.
I didn't know why? The light was still RED.
I looked at the guy suspiciously.
He pointed me first and then to his right.
So I looked my left and realized I was on the right side of the road,
which is the opposite of where I was supposed to be.
I gave him a sign waving my hand and said "Sorry."
And I moved to the left lane.
Seemed like I was still out of my mind.
10 minutes drive from there, I was at the entarance of a highway, R495.
It was closed... A sign said "DETOUR"
I was kinda paniced a little bit.
I'd never gone home w/o using highway.
I called Sam and asked how he went home since he left campus earlier.
Maybe a couple of hours earlier.
He told me that all highway were totally closed for ambulance, fire truck, and police car.
He also told me that he had to go home w/o highway
and the traffic was so heavy, so he was just only a half way.
So, I headed to my apartment in Astoria, Queens.
I turned on the radio and tried to pick up any news regarding the attack.
Still I couldn't find who were behind it,
but had to know there would be expected a large number of casualties, tens of thousands possibly.
On my way home, I felt it was like forever.
It took more than 4hrs to get home.
(for just 17-20miles)
8:30 PM now.
I arrived at my apartment at last
and walked up stairs to fifth floor for my room.
It was a very long drive, but I do not remember anything clearly.
