As of Wednesday morning, with rescue workers still sifting through piles of debris at the building site, there was little official information about fatalities. The database is compiling its information with submissions from the public. The NY.com staff says it is attempting to confirm the accuracy of all submissions, however a review of the database showed a number of entries were not thoroughly checked; many of the entries were incomplete and others were obviously fictitious. * FULL STORY: http://www.atnewyork.com/news/article/0,1471,8471_882651,00.html ========================================================== VERIZON OFFERS FREE LOCAL CALLS IN MANHATTAN In the wake of the terrorist attacks that hit lower Manhattan Tuesday morning, phone provider Verizon Communications said it is making local calls from 4,000 Manhattan curbside payphones free for the duration of the emergency.
