the five, six flights of stairs we were on and left the building. when you saw the police presence that s been out here, wolf i mean, i m telling you, they re taking it very seriously. you can see the looks on their faces. we now know from the great reporting of shimon prokupecz what the time warner center is dealing with. they re taking this situation very seriously. it s been quite a sight to see. you can see the men and women of the nypd and fdny and how quickly they can lock down this block. it is locked down, no question. command posts being set up right behind me as we re speaking, wolf. i want to get some updates from some of my colleagues that are also in the same situation. athena jones, if you can hear me, where are you? i haven t been able to see you yet. hi, kate. i m at the other end of the block from where you are.
