As Tuesday is trash day, I was collecting trash, bottles, cans etc. to put out at the curb. As always I had the tv on in the background. A bit belatedly the news of the first tower came on Fox News. At that time they were saying that they thought a small private airplane had lost it's course and crashed into the tower. I was very doubtful based on the size of the whole in the side of the building.

I immediately called my wife who, along with her cohorts, was cubicle-bound at a large corporation. As I was describing what was going on the second plane hit right before my eyes. It was then clear that this was no accident and there would probably be more.

As FR, and the rest of the internet for that matter, had melted down, for the rest of that morning I was the eyes and ears for my wife and her coworkers. The Pentagon, the crash in Pennsylvania, the collapse of one and then the other tower...

What a terrible day.

That Tuesday morning I had had the pc off and the TV as well. I turned on my old PC and happened to go to FR and saw the first alarms that were raised.

By the time I had turned on the TV, the south tower had been hit. I had to go to work, and for the rest of the day watched the goings on with my fellow employees.

Be Seeing You,
