Mr.“N“，whom I introduced yesterday on my diary, was riding on a Delta air line plane bound for Los Angeles from Cincinnati on the same time when the world trade center (WTC) was attacked by the terrorism on November 11, 2001. I asked him yesterday what he did at that time. He replied me immediately.
He said the captain of plane announced that due to the direction from the ground control tower the plane would make an emergency landing at St.Louis airport. Nothing more was told. As soon as the plane landed, the surveillance on pocket phone was released. Instantly many information about the attack came into passenger cabin.
He happened to meet an American manager of Toyota Corporation. He obtained a car from St. Louis plant of Toyota and they could get to Cincinnati within the day with a seven hour drive. Otherwise he might stay at St. Louis at least two night and three days more.
His son, who graduated from U.S. university and was working as a designer for a company in New York. Its office was located near to WTC building in Manhattan. The bottom pictures were taken by him from the neighborhood building of his hime apartment. (Remarks from editor: the right picture shows the instant when the tower building was crashed down.) His parents in law were on a plane from Tokyo to New York at the moment of attack and it made emergency landing at a Canadian airport safely.

This morning, after I got a radio therapy, Doctor Hiroyuki Fujimoto of Urology consulted me. I asked him whether I can make a trip to U.S.A. after the middle of January, 2002. He replied it might be possible. I got the second hormone therapy after its restart.
