Am I just old or does ordering your coffee black mean something different these days? Ordered a black coffee at McDonald's and the person at the drive-thru said "you can just say zero sugars and zero cream." Seems like that's a longer phrasing than needs to be said. Coffee black is clear and concise and universal to mean no cream no sugar.
For obvious reasons, recently I've been watching a lot of 9/11 interviews and pieces of footage, and while most focus on the day of the tragedy and on the illnesses that the people who managed to escape developed years later, there seems to be no information about what they did immediately after.
For example, an office worker managed to escape from the South Tower. This person has witnessed the deaths of his colleagues, of firemen and police officers, watched people jump to their deaths, then saw both Towers crumble down.
And then what? What could this poor person do, on the 12th and the 13th and the 14th? Did he have to call the HR office of the company he used to work for and announce he was still alive? Did he have to go immediately back to work in another office or was he granted some level of financial aid or PTO to recover at least a little? Did he have to go out looking for a new job because, "Oh, you know... your office went down with the building, so..."?
Sorry if the question comes off as morbid, but I can't really find any information about it.
