Whole zip codes are gone.



September 17, 2001:

As commerce begins to recover today across America and around the
world, we wanted you to know that FedEx Express, with the exception
of some zip codes in lower Manhattan (see list below), has resumed
air service to all locations within our global network. Also,
beginning today, September 17, we will reinstate our money-back
guarantees for shipments accepted within the United States including
FedEx International Priority shipments, as well as for FedEx
International Priority shipments originating from most countries
outside the United States.

Other FedEx operating companies, including FedEx Ground, FedEx
Freight, FedEx Custom Critical and FedEx Trade Networks, are
operating at their normal, high levels of service.

We, at FedEx, extend our heartfelt sympathy to all those affected by
this terrible tragedy. Our employees continue to expedite medical
supplies, emergency equipment and payroll related shipments and have
contributed much of their time to volunteer efforts, just as so many
other Americans have done this past week.

We look forward to continuing to provide service to you and millions
of other businesses across America as we work together to make this
great country stronger than ever before.

Should you have further questions, please do not reply to this e-mail.
Alternatively, please check http://www.fedex.com for more details
and continuing updates.

Lower Manhattan zip codes suspended temporarily:
10004 10005 10006 10007
10038 10270 10271 10272

Lower Manhattan zip codes suspended indefinitely:
World Trade Center: 10048
World Financial Center: 10080 10280 10281 10282

<< I did not realise that the buildings themselves had their own zip codes. >>


I didn't either, but I guess it makes sense if you think about the fact that 50,000 people worked there. Most towns of 50,000+ would have a number of ZIP codes.

<< Have you never heard the saying, "we've grown so large that we need our own zip-code?" >>

I didn't really think of it 'til payday, but I direct deposit to a New York bank(everbank), but they weren't affected.

"indefinately" doesnt mean forever.. it means it has not yet been defined how long they will be out of service... I doubt the building had all those zip codes entirely encased within

My mom works at the US DOT and her building has its own zip code too, as do many government office buildings due to the sheer volume of mail.

Wowsers!

That's 8 temporarily suspended and 8 indefinitely suspended. Ouch! I wonder if UPS is still delivering there?

Actually they did. I mentioned this to my mom who has been to the buildings and she said it is listed on the building itself.

The amount of people lost in the WTC is like 5,2xx or so. That's 1,000 greater than my town's population :(

Edit: My towns population: 4,2xx
