It was the first post about it on the day it happed.
I remember that day very well. I woke up early, in time to see the first plane crash into the tower. I never wake up early.
At the time, I was friendly with Freeper Ken5050. We actually exchanged phone numbers and on 9/11 he called as he ran down the street in NYC because his daughter worked in one of those towers. Fortunately she got out. But I got firsthand description. Especially touching, papers put up on bulletin boards saying “I got out”. and “has anyone seen?”
As news continued, I discovered that , when I was in Florida. I had been going to a wonder physical therapist whose office was across the street from a place one of the hijackers had frequented.
Chilling.
Here's this.
