Just got through watching 9/11 timeline on FoxNews.

Ditto! I watched it last night and am very grateful to Fox for continuing to show that video footage. We must never forget the events that unfolded on that day and the innocent victims! NEVER!

I was working in the NYS Governor's office at the state capitol in Albany on September 11, 2001. One of the Lt. Governor's staff stepped into our office (Computer Services) and said a plane had just crashed into one of the Twin Towers. Like many others, we thought it was a small plane. A few minutes later, she popped her head back in and said another plane had hit the 2nd tower. After that, all staff were immediately mobilized to provide total assistance to Governor Pataki. This was especially true for us as we had to ensure the governor remained in uninterrupted communication with staff and Washington. At one point I stepped outside and looked up into the sky, Having once worked for an international airline, it was so eerie not seeing any aircraft overhead. The silence was deafening. We later learned that one of the aircraft that crashed into the Twin Towers had flown over our offices, following the Hudson River to their intended target in Manhattan.

That day and the days that followed are burned into my memory!

That was the day I discovered FR. A friend at work was a member and FR is where he saw the first news.
