Where were you and what were you doing?
Thoughts, rememberances and conspiracy theories?
I was at home - busted up - stuck in a wheelchair.
I was listening to Howard Stern. Say what you want about Stern - but he got it dead right that day. If you don' t believe it go back and listen to the recordings.
A bro of mine stopped over - and I had him go up in the attic to get an old black and white portable my ex wife had left - as I did not have a TV set up. My buddy got it set up about 10 minutes before the first tower collapsed.
I never felt more helpless.
I was living in Central Virginia at the time. I slept in, my wife at the time was at work. I woke up about 15 minutes after the last tower fell. So all I saw on the news was commentary and replays. Still scared the shit out of me. They ended up closing the factory she worked at shortly after I woke up and she came home. I was horrified at seeing the jumpers one after the other. What a horrible thing to have to chose, burn alive or jump.
A few weeks later I ran into a lady who was actually in NYC and blocks away when it all happened. I had never seen so much fear in someone's eyes in my life.
Just about everyone that day felt helpless. Nobody knew if more was coming. I was wondering if that was going to be the start of WW3.
