*ding* *ding* *ding* And *THAT*'s the right answer.
I was at work, working for a computer consulting firm, when we heard about the towers. Some people in the office started to panic and worry about us being hit. Umm, yeah, the terrorists wanted to hit the Pentagon, the WTC and a small consulting firm in Halifax.
I had an airplane ticket for the 13th. Fortunatly, domestic flights were back to normal and, other than a very long line-up for security, everything seemed okay. Friends and family asked if I was scared of flying then. I told them the same thing as I tell you now: "Statistically, I have far more to fear from lunatic drivers when I'm crossing than I do from any terrorist organization."
Stupid me used my lunch bag from work as my carry-on. Had a fork and a knife in there. Obviously they had to confiscate them; lucky I wasn't strip-searched.

As a Devils fan, I've made a lot of friends down in that area. Some have lost friends and family. It's a tough day for them. Three thousand people lost their lives that day, by my heart goes out to the hundreds of thousands who lost people close to them.
