We lost 2 great FReepers that day. John Moran FDNY (North Tower) and Barbara Olson (Flight 77 the Pentagon)
FReeper chris_in_nj's father, Joe Driscoll, was on United 93.
It was a long day, FR kept alot of us sane.
I was searching for a 9/11 victims tribute web site with photos and stories on the people lost that day.
Here is a good one.

I started posting here in July 01 although I had lurked for a while before then. I actually heard about the first plane listening to the Howard Stern Show on the way to work. He was interviewing Pamela Anderson as I recall. I went into work and told my boss who was staring at spreadsheets and unaware. Then I jumped on FR. I remember those early threads vividly.
