Leah herself was a near-casualty, having missed being on a subway train under the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings by only a few minutes. She said that every co-worker that she’d managed to contact is okay, though some of their families were not so lucky. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers in the coming days as they try to sort out their lives.

The building where LEGO® Direct is located is right on the border of the evacuation area, so they might not be open for business on Wednesday. Even if they are, this event will not be followed by a short recovery period, so it will likely be a while before things are going at full speed again. Please be patient with them during this time of mourning.
