You are right about the current Port Authority not being the same as on 9/11. And they were amazingly heroic, as were lots of folks who just helped out the best they could.
The book is really good - nothing sensationalized, just what happened.
I remember that day so well. I was at home, hubby had just driven off to a convention he way going to, my mom was still sleeping (I was home to take care of her for something) and I just had the Today Show on for background.
I watched the whole thing in realtime. It had an affect on me I've still not recovered from - so I can't imagine what it would be like to be there.
I'm from Houston, but hubby grew up on Long Island. We used to go there a few times a year to visit his family. And he's still got some college friends in the city. His family moved to the west coast and I don't have near the fun there.
I love New York.
