Lending moral support up close
  Giants
New York will never look the same again.
About 35 Giants spent more than 90 minutes Sept. 15 shaking hands and thanking rescue workers searching for survivors in the rubble at the World Trade Center. The players were ferried from Jersey City to Manhattan in shifts by New York City Police boats starting around 1 p.m. They had brought supplies for the rescue workers to a staging area in Jersey City, when they decided to see if they could go to the financial district and lend moral support. "The guys didn't know if it was the right thing to do," said Pat Hanlon, the team's vice president of communications. "But they saw that what they did carries weight. At the end of the day, they felt like they'd done something."

  • The Giants evacuated their indoor training facility at Giants Stadium (less than 10 miles from where the WTC used to be) twice Sept. 14 after alarms went off during practice. Coach Jim Fassel said the alarms were caused by a short in an air duct. "It was a little scary because of the situation, but I didn't think it was too much," said S Sam Garnes. "I'm sure we would have heard more sirens than that if something was really going on."
  • Richard Lynch, son of WFAN Giants' radio analyst Dick Lynch, is one of the thousands missing in the wake of the World Trade Center attacks, the New York Post reported. "What I keep thinking about is what Jesus said, 'Forgive them for they know not what they do,'" said Lynch, fighting through tears, on Sept. 14. "That phrase keeps going around in my head. It's the closest way for me to get any solace." Richard, 31, was believed to be working on the 84th floor of 2 World Trade Center when the attacks occured.
