I woke up to go to work and as always turned on CNN, the first plane had hit and their was confusion. I remember one woman on the phone was wondering if something had gone wrong with air traffic control and that a small plane had hit the first tower. Then as they were interviewing a second woman she screamed that a plane had smashed into the second tower.

From that point on, there was no doubt in my mind that it was a terrorist attack. I went to work and we pulled a T.V. into the sales bullpen, our boss was screaming at us because nothing was being done, and I basically told him to stfu, nobody was doing any work anywhere.

Then one of the reporters who was at the pentagon he reported that the building had shook and the windows had rattled.

Two other things stood out after that, I worked in the N.E. and could see the airport, and there was a line of planes waiting to land. I got a call from a client who was almost in tears, she was terrified that the world was coming to an end that day, that the American's in their rage and grief would lash out. Then I got a call from a friend of mine in Texas, who was outright enraged at the expected loss of life and the attack on a civilian target (he was a Marine), he was ready to get on a boat and go over to Afghanistan to wipe out all of the terrorist training camps.

I left work early that day, went downtown and picked up my sister at Husky, and we found a bar near her place and we just drank and watched the news. You could hear a pin drop in that place.

About three years ago, I managed to get to New York and I went to Ground Zero. It was quiet, and you could almost feel the ghosts in the ground.

As an addon, my sister who is a doctor was in Manhatten on 9/11, all the doctors were called in to help out at the hospital, and when she recalled it later she said she was stunned at the lack of injuries.
