It is an odd thing. My wife's grandfather's cousin , William Gibbs McAdoo,
was an early president of the Hudson and Manhattan Ry. (now PATH). From
the time we married (27 years ago) I've had an absolute phobia about
entering the station under the WTC. I was always afraid that it would fall
on me.
Now, it seems that what survivors will be found may have survived because
they got down there.
