I didn't do anything brave.

Sorry, gotta disagree with you on this one, my friend.

I remember the fear I went through that day, by having my niece and her husband in a suburb of DC and not being able to reach them. I remember calling my daughter in Columbus, because of my fear of other cities being targeted.

So I do think you are brave, simply for the fact that you lived this horror firsthand, and still have the fortitude to post your thoughts here.

Please FReepmail me the post you referred to.

Just managing to survive doesn't make me brave -- just lucky and able to somehow manage to keep sane long enough to figure out a plan (how to get the hell out of there and ahead of tens of thousands of people who all wanted to use the few remaining pay phones in Manhattan) and execute it.

One thing I still regret is that there was nothing I could do to help anyone else.
