I was listening to Hugh Hewitt on the radio when he announced the first plane hitting. Then he mentioned the second plane. I shut off the radio and turned on FoxNews.
My son was a flight attendant and in the air at that time. I was on pins and needles until he called to l me know he was safe.
My heart was broken for the families who didn’t get that call.
I was reflecting with sadness some of those that I was involved with and remember on FR from that day who have left due to our wonderful forum getting much toO nasty and contentious in the years since.
I often tell people that OUR forum was one where we were talking about Osama Bin Laden within 18 minutes of the first post. That poster was Catspaw and he/she is gone since 2004.
On 9-11 the great poster “Huck” was crossing between the towers and gave an account but was headed home when the towers collapsed. Many worried about him until he checked back in a dozen hours later. He also felt he had to leave.
We need to remember people lost on 9/11 but we all need to know we can loose good fellowship when we aren’t considerate to our fellow posters as this recent reflection has caused me to remember.
