Counsellors roamed the halls of Humber talking with students upset about the disaster. Among them, Yolanta Galazka, face etched with worry, fear and con- cern, was found on her cell phone try- ing to reach relatives in New York. Galazka's brother and sister-in- law work in New York. Her sister, a bank inspector, works in a building close to the site of the crash and some- times works at the World Trade Center. "I can't get through to anyone there. [I'm] worried and devastated. I left messages on every phone possi- ble, hoping that they can get a hold of me," she said. Galazka had been in New York just two weeks ago and visited the World Trade Center. "When you realize how many thousands and thousands are in that building, the carnage, I just can not conceive of it," Galazka said. At Humber's residence, students gathered around watching and listen- ing to the developing tragedy. Radio broadcasting student Jenny Libits, of Long Island, New York had just entered the lounge and was con- fused about what was happening. "I don't even know. Ifs scary," Libits said. Because Libits' family lives in Manhattan and not near the World Trade Center, she said she was not too Shawn Baldwin, CP worried.
