Don't get me wrong, early hours are much better than late hours at the office......late hours are for Snoopy's...... But being much younger back then, I had a lot more energy and vigor...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Around 7:30 a.m. local time. East Texas. I was eating breakfast with my baby daughter (only had one child at the time) and was about to leave for work. Phone rang, my wife answered and it was someone selling insurance or something. Wife said we weren't interested. Caller said, "Well you may want to buy insurance because the world might be coming to an end." Seriously. The person actually said that. My wife said, "Um, excuse me? What the hell did you just say?" Caller told her to turn on the news, said "the World Trade Center was just bombed," and my wife hung up on her. Turned on the TV. I think it was on Good Morning America. My impression was that, yeah, it was obviously a terrible accident. Passenger plane experienced some manner of technical issue, and crashed. Terrible yes, but not wholly unprecedented. The fact it crashed into such an iconic building and landmark certainly made it a major news story. I watched live as the second plane hit. I remember saying, out loud, the same thing every other rational person said, "This was no accident." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olduy Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Much like others, self employed and had a mid morning appointment. Eating a bite and turned on tv showing a plane had hit one of the twin towers. Watched the second plane hit live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PepeSilvia Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 On a side note, I play the same 9/11 video in class every year. You can tell that the kids don’t care about it because it gets worse each year with the amount of students I have to get on to that make jokes during it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
