Re: REMEMBER ??
I was in the air the day before for my Monday commute, watched the whole thing on TV next morning after I told my whole office to go home and was at the airport on Thursday in an empty terminal waiting with the flight crew on standby (I was the ONLY passenger that showed up) waiting to see if I could hop on a flight that had not been cancelled yet to get back home.
It got cancelled, so I took my rental car and drove straight non-stop 19 hours from my work apartment in Miami to my home in New York and got to stop on a bridge on the NJ Turnpike with hundreds of other cars to get out and stare at the Manhattan skyline with the massive smoke columns still billowing into the sky.
And on the following Monday I flew out of Newark again back to Miami and the pilot did a slow turn so all 6 passengers in the plane could get a good long view of the piles of smoking rubble from the air.
I WILL NEVER forget…..

Re: REMEMBER ??
I doubt I can forget. It made an indelible mark on me. My BIL was down there day of, and saw some of the jumpers. He had to walk I don't know how many blocks home that day and it was late into the evening before we knew he was Okay.
