The Tragedy
from the --- dept
For obvious reasons, we will not be publishing today. I doubt many people are visiting here. Many major news sites are down, as are sites about donating blood. Here's the
Red Cross blood donation page and
a page about America's blood donation centers. Both are very slow, as they're being hit by plenty of traffic from well meaning people. You can also try calling 1-800-GIVE-LIFE to donate blood. The lines are also very busy, but Red Cross officials have said they will obviously continue to need blood for many weeks in the aftermath of this horror - so please keep trying. There are also numerous charities around the country that are accepting donations of food, clothing, and blankets which all will be needed.
Update: Since so many news sources are down, there's a great site at University of Rochester that has
a lot of info. For right now I'm
mirroring that site here in case it, too, gets overwhelmed. I will try to keep it updated, if possible.
Update again: The Red Cross is now saying they have enough of most blood types... for now, but will probably need more later. They still need type "O", I believe.
Important: Here's a site for people near the disasters today to
report that they are okay, and for concerned friends and relatives to search for survivors.
Update: Yet another non-major news source
covering this tragedy. Has good links for those who are concerned about friends/relatives or who just want to help. Also has a number of personal stories from those in NY.
