9/11 remembered

If anyone can say that they live a life without any major event worth remembering, it must be a luxury. Of course, this is not about personal events. 

To me, there are two dates so far and today is one of them.  The first hit came in as I just got in my office when V called.  Then heard about the 2nd one from the radio and TV in a co-worker's office. The initial 2 hits weren't that shocking until V called again saying the building collapsed.

WTC completely collapsed?  No way! 

At the time, CNN online was the main source of news and it was down most of the time.  Now this is something to be serious about. I also started to worry about two friends working in the Financial Center who also use the WTC subway station to work. Obvious nobody can contact them until the next day when they walked 15 miles back home. 

What happened afterwards is more devastating but not as shocking.
