That's a sad account, Cob. I was in California. We ,or the folks I ran into reacted in horror and anger.
We saw our innocent brothers and sisters dying before our horrified eyes.
People in MI who were in bars at that hour must have been in "the bag" by then. Let's see? That would have been about 8:15AM? Future AA members I hope.
Many of us still weep about the images we've been subjected to. I wear a NYFD tee shirt at my gym as tribute to those incredibly brave people who went to thier deaths without question...that may seem stupid to some...I do not care what it seems...I know what it means.
It was at lunchtime where I observed this, not in the AM.
For images of FDNY firefighters who responded to danger/evil and lost their lives that day go here.
