I was watching Fox. Empty house. I was slowly, lazily, getting ready for work. After news of the first plane hitting, I was wide awake. In my guts, I believed it was a terrorist attack, given 1993 and the clear sky, and was unmoved by the numerous suggestions that it was not terror (by this time I was changing channels rapidly to get updates so I may have heard the denials on a station other than Fox). Anyway, when I saw that a second plane was coming from the right of the screen, I thought it might be a water carrier like they use out west for forest fires. I know -dumb- but I only had time for that one thought, hope, before it hit. After that, I decided not to go to work; instead, I went to the package store. I remember JFK, too. My mother had let me take the day off from school, a Friday I recall. I remember my grandfather being really p.o.ed that his soaps were interrupted. He was a diehard Republican.

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.
