There are terrible, terrible memories of September 11th, things that I saw, people that I lost, the devastation, the identification of bodies.

The city is going to survive, we are going to get through it, It's going to be very, very difficult time. I don't think we yet know the pain that we're going to feel when we find out who we lost, but the thing we have to focus on now is getting this city through this, and surviving and being stronger for it.
