Re: September 11, 2001

I was sleeping in that morning. My roommate came running downstares and yelled something about "a guy flying a plane into a skyscraper". I was mostly asleep and mumbled, "what movie?". "This is real, it's on the news stations". I pulled myself out of bed and went to watch. I saw the second plane hit. It still hadn't sunk in yet. We waited for a third plane and it never came. We both said that the towers would fall. I left the house and went driving over to my father's work to leave a note on his car telling him what had happened. I had heard on the radio that atleast one of the towers had fallen at that point. Nothing had sunk in yet. One of the 93X guys stoped what he was doing and just paused for a few seconds. He then said; "Jeez, just think about the firefighters. They didn't have a chance." That wasn't scripted. What made it so powerful was that I don't think he even knew he was saying it. It was a real reaction to the papers he was reading. That is when it sunk in. Later at work we were watching the news. It was then that we heard that the officals thought it was Osama Bin Ladin's doing.
