“”I was on one of those boats crossing the river that day.””
My word - I can’t imagine being an eye witness to what was unfolding. Had to be unbelievable and quite chilling! It was bad enough watching from a distance - us in CA 3 hours behind the actual event... We were up and getting ready to go to to work and for some reason, I decided to turn the TV on before we left the house. First thing on the screen were pictures of the Pentagon burning when I called to my husband to “come watch.” I have no idea how long it took us to soak up what we were seeing. Never to be forgotten and doubly so for you and others!!
My company was owned by a CA company. They were so worried they closed their SF office that day. Neanwhile, they left our offices in Manhattan open. The downtown office right next to world trade centers was never told to close. The peeps went running for their lives & never reopened. I hate those people.
