I was listening to talk radio this afternoon, and the topic was 9/11. And they asked people to call in and tell them if they remember where they were and what their thoughts were.
Most were similar comments to those in the thread.
Then this poor man from Victoria called in. He said that for some reason, he turned on the TV that morning, 10 minutes before he was to go to work. And he saw the second plane hit.
And he knew that his niece worked on the 45th floor of that building. And he kept wondering if she had gone to work that day, then started praying that she had not gone to work that day, then started praying that she would get out ok.
But they never saw her again. And sadly, not a trace was ever found of her to this day. And she left behind an 8 month old son.
And for this man and his family, their lives have never been the same. Even after all this time, he could not contain his emotions while talking. It simply broke my heart to hear his emotions come through on the air.
