Wow! I’m glad none of your family managed to get on the wrong airplane that day. That had to be nerve-wracking. Thanks for the story.
Not dumb. That's a far more rational thought than believing someone is sick enough to fly an airplane full of people into a building on purpose. 9/11 was a day where rational thought was suspended.
I was referring to#3 & #4, not #1
1. pertaining to, containing, or consisting of semen.
2. Botany. of or pertaining to seed.
3. having possibilities of future development.
4. highly original and influencing the development of future events: a seminal artist; seminal ideas.

I recall that, too. Thanks for reminding me. Those are the kind of details that tend to slip from the mind with the passage of time.
I can’t imagine the worry of having a family member in any of the WTC buildings that day. I am glad your wife was not injured.
Incredible story. Thanks.
Your dream trumps mine. I can attribute mine to the clock radio impinging on my dreaming mind. Yours was a bit more prophetic.
I still break down and cry when I try and tell someone about it in person. Luckily, you can’t see my eyes tearing up now. I have posted my dream several times on FR since the attack and I build up enough courage to try and tell a few people in person, but I can never make it past the angel without sobbing.
Fascinating incident with the Arab students. Thanks for sharing.
I don't remember eating or doing anything the rest of the day except watching the coverage on TV.
I felt a sense of shock and disbelief.
he said “seminal” heh heh heh

I knew the context he was using it, but I was trying to lighten it up a bit with some old Beavis and Butthead humor.
On 9/11/01 I was scheduled to help paint a church in Brooklyn, I didn’t even turn on the TV that morning. While ridding across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge I saw the north tower in flames. All that day the pastors wife would bring us news, the south tower fell, the north tower fell, while we painted the walls pretty much in a state of shock. While taking a break buying a coke from a local store I watched the smoke drift over Brooklyn.
My wife was on an express bus heading into Manhattan that morning. The Gowanus Expressway in Brooklyn is elevated and the entire bus saw the second plane fly over the harbor and into the south tower. They (the passengers) immediately told the driver to turn around, but being a bus driver he had to call the dispatcher to find out what to do. They turned back to Staten Island. On the way home that night I tell you I’ve have never seen New York City that quiet.
Have you ever ridden on a train and smelled the brakes while it’s coming into the station (metallic dust)? The entire city smelled like that for weeks after.
I know you knew the context. I was being tongue and cheek right back at you.
BTW “he” was “me”.

With family & friends, shocked at the TV screens.
