Searches for loved ones continue By Cindy Rodriguez, and Mac Daniel, Globe Staff, 9/13/2001 NEW YORK - The beeper message at 9:07 a.m. Tuesday was the last time Juan Bruno heard from his wife, Raquel Tamares, who worked on the 100th floor of the World Trade Center's south tower. As he spent yesterday searching for her, he kept telling himself there was reason for hope - a worker on the 98th floor had survived the tower's collapse. ''I've called all the hospitals,'' said Bruno, standing in a line of relatives and friends of other missing loved ones that stretched along a block of Greenwich Village. Any news about loved ones would be the only news of the day that mattered. ''They say they haven't admitted her, but that I should keep trying.'' ''All I can think is she's in the hospital unconscious or that they just don't have her name,'' he said. Jackie Cohen and Jamie Rubin, both Manhattanites, were desperate for word about two missing friends. ''I can't believe that in a day, 10,000 people were gone,'' Cohen said. Rubin boiled with frustration. ''What could you do to avenge someone who wiped out two of the largest buildings in the world?'' Rubin said. ''What can you do to them? Hang them? Shoot them? Burn them? They don't care about life. Life means nothing to them.'' Richard Deuel accompanied the husband of his missing sister, Cindy, from Brooklyn into Manhattan. Deuel tried to buck up Tomas, who couldn't speak through his tears, but the brother was also struggling with thoughts of loss. ''I can't believe my little sister, someone who was literally my energy and my life, got a job on the floor that was the very center target of a terrorist attack,'' Deuel said. ''They killed my Cindy.'' While hospitals and police stations were inundated with missing persons requests, people also handed out fliers with photos, names, and employers. One showed Daniel Lopez, 39, in khaki pants and a navy blue shirt. It included a message he left on an answering machine: ''Liz, it's me, Dan. My building has been hit. I made it to the 78th floor. I'm OK but will remain here to help evacuate people. See you soon.'' Droves of family members also went to the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, armed with pictures and other identifying information. Indeed, Jersey City served as the supply depot for much of the rescue effort yesterday. Tug boats, pilot boats, and other water vehicles steamed across the Hudson, filled with food, ice, medical supplies, and bottled water that was loaded by some 500 volunteers. City officials have been cautious in issuing estimates of how many died in the attacks, though Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has said the total will probably run to a ''few thousand'' in each of the towers. Rescue workers have also been discreet: at the site of the twin towers, they went to lengths yesterday to keep photographers and television cameras at a distance as bodies were removed. Kathy Bowden, of Montclair, N.J., was seeking her kid brother Thomas, 36, who was working on the 104th floor of Tower 1 when the first plane hit. ''We got a phone call from his partner,'' she said. ''He said: `We're on the 104th floor. We're OK. We'll be evacuated shortly.' And we haven't heard anything since.'' Patrick Healy of the Globe Staff contributed to this article.
