Where were you on 9/11/2001

I was at work.  One of the receptionists came back to tell us they heard a plane hit one of the WTC towers.  We assumed it was some sort of horrible accident.  Then, the second plane hit.  At this point, all work ceased, and we brought back the TV from the owner's office to watch the developing events.  Not long after the towers collapsed, we were sent home.

I spent that afternoon in a shock/depression induced sleep.

Where were you on that Day of Infamy 9/11/2001?

I was busy putting together my daily Radio Talk Show Newsletter when the news broke and rushing into the livingroom I turned on CNN.

While I was taking quick notes I heard a very low flying jet, and went out onto the porch in time to see the jet that would later be crashed in Pennsylvania.

For the rest of that day, I was busy pulling all the stories I could get my hands on to put into one of the longest Newsletters I ever assembled and faxed them out.

For the next two days my newsletters were exclusively 9/11 news, but I'll never forget the sight of that jet and the sick feeling that I had reading about it.
