Never Forget... 9/11/2001 (Where Were You?)

I was coming out of the 6 train on Spring Street in NYC, where I noticed a fire of some sort downtown. I took the train up to my job at 32nd and Lexington where the building had a straight shot of the twin towers. By the time I got into the office everyone was watching the internet and the Bloomberg TV as they had said a plane had hit a tower. We could see it in flames from my boss's office. Then we watched on TV later on as the towers fell, and lifting our heads up we saw it go down in real life.

My coworkers girlfriend worked for Cantor Fitzgerald. They had had a quickie in the morning and were subsequently late to work which saved her life. However as she was getting into the office the tower was on fire and people were jumping, she saw a few people land on the pavement. The experience ruined their relationship and she subsequently moved away from NYC. I later had to walk from 32nd street to the Brooklyn Bridge and then back to my place near Prospect Park in Brooklyn. It was supposed to be my first day in grad school.

Ughhh...........ok.:confused:
 
I remember it well. Got up for breakfast turned on the radio and it sounded like a war going on. Got in the truck to return the rental sewer snake after the sewer between the house and septic system had a blockage. While driving the radio gave blow by blow updates and then I saw the falling building on the TV at the rental tool shop. It was a terrible day for the world.
 
I was on my way to work, listening to Howard Stern (back before you had to pay to listen to him.)

They interrupted whatever they were talking about to tell the listening audience that a plane had just hit the twin towers. Listening to the show, it almost seemed like a prank. Work that day was surreal. We would eventually be sent home early to spend time with our family. Everything changed after that and I went to talk to an Army recruiter.
 
I was stationed at Paris Island. We were at work and I remember our Master Sergeant calling us into his office to watch the tv.
 
I was in Atlantic city painting a town house listening to Howard stern
 
I was at home asleep and I was awakened by a call to turn on the t.v. sept 12,2001 I was in a us army recruiters office saying I wanted to get the people who did this....and the rest is history never forget 9/11 R.I.P
