Used to wake up and watch the morning news, watched as the 2nd plane hit. Went to work and the only website I could seemingly get at was The Register of all sites. Heard reports the towers fell and couldn’t believe it. We then found out the tv in the boardroom at our other building site had a TV and went over to watch the endless replays. I was to get on a plane later that afternoon to fly to Victoria for a training course.
I’m sure this is something that is one of those “where were you” memories like those who lived through The moon landing or Kennedy assassination.
I don’t know where I got them from but I have cache of pictures from that day that someone in the towers shared. The most…haunting I’ll say are pictures of a line of workers going down the stairwell while firefighters are going up. I hesitate to share as they are the final pictures of these heroes who just answered the call without thinking of the possible circumstances.
