I'm holding up okay, thanks for asking. I am glad that you made it out safely!

I still see and hear the plane hitting the south tower in my minds eye. I guess being so close to such a terrible event teaches you what is important, and what isn't. I was always conservative but now I have much less tolerance for the bleeding hearts on the left. At times I think that we should start lobbing nukes at the Middle East to show them what happens when you wake a sleeping dog. My respect for the military is sky high. I want to strangle the morons who think that profiling is bad. I almost broke my PC when I read about slick willie talking about his 'obsession' with bin laden on Larry King the other day, and any sighting of Hilary can throw me into a rage. So yea, I guess I am okay < grin>.

Unfortunately, I am one of the people who can say that I know just what you're talking about. I was slightly to the northeast of the WTC heading towards that direction to get the subway uptown.

I didn't see the first plane hit, but I heard it and saw the fireball -- even had glass from the first tower come down on us. I was walking home and was next to a tall building when the second plane hit, so while I didn't see it, I felt it. The only other person nearby was a 50ish man who started to cry and yelled to me that it was another plane and that we were under attack. I was like "no way!" and when I got back to my apartment building, they weren't letting anyone in. And when I called my dad, he told me that a second plane did hit and that's when I finally realized that we were under attack.

Two times that morning I thought I was going to die.

But like you, I still get pissed when I hear the Sinkmaster try to glom onto this and grab credit for things he didn't do and any mention of the Hildebeast enrages me as well. ;-)
