Forever etched in my memory.
Rare morning at home with family nursing a cold when this occurred...watched it unfold live.
My son was only 10 days old, we awoke to this while getting the kids ready for their day.
It’s like the my generations “Pearl Harbor” at least that’s my perception.
Yes never forget.
Rot in Hell Bin Laden!
Shock and then anger. Flew my flag in the back window of my 993 from that point on. Never forget.
I was at work at Microsoft on a support call. I was remoted into a customer's system and in the middle of troubleshooting, the call and the internet connection dropped. We didn't know what was going on. The TVs in the area all went down, and we couldn't get to the internet.
I stripped a cat5 network cable and rigged an antenna for one of the TVs. Got a static filled broadcast from the local news station and found out what was going on. We were not getting calls, so we stood around that TV for hours in total shock.
My customer that dropped called me back about a week later. Seems he was in a building less than 1 block from the twin towers. Their power, network and phones were cut when the towers came down. They were evacuated for a week and couldn't get back in the office. They didn't have internet for a month.
Not my favorite day......took these pictures a couple years ago at the National Fire Academy located in Emmittsburg MD.
Teaching at the Fire Academy yesterday, I was going to ask the recruits where they were on 911, then I looked at them and thought to myself most of them were not even 5 years old on that day.
Getting up early I used to watch the early news when online. The tv was on and I watched the second aircraft go into the WTC realtime. My mom was set to leave for England that AM and I was going to drive her to SEA-TAC. Called her, "turn on the tv mom. You're not going anywhere".
My thoughts go to the heroes that attempted to take control of the plane that crashed in PA. They knew they were on a fatal course no matter what they did, but they prevented another disaster from occurring due to their actions.
Never Forget.
Let's Roll.
I'm fucken crying...
So many lives lost, so many lives touched.
Yes, lets Never forget!
I will never forget these days.
2001 in September I‘ve been on an international trade show (IBC) in Amsterdam and all the booths of the US companies very empty due to the shutdown of the air traffic.
It was so sad ... I will never forget ...

That was an unforgettable day, but I can't help but think that we, as a nation, need a REAL investigation about what REALLY happened that day.

This isn't the place to argue, because it will veer into politics quickly.
The video is of WTC Building 7, btw.
I sent you a pm, Greg.
