I was driving over the Throgs Neck Bridge on my way to work when the second plane hit. I could see the smoke. I almost crashed my car.
I had to continue on to work in Scarsdale as I couldn't turn around and go home. They had closed the bridges so quickly.
I logged on to Free Republic as soon as I got to my office. Most of our phone lines were down and FR was my link to what was going on.
I hung on every post you wrote.
Thanks.
I do remember trying to get back to FR later in the day and it was moving like a crippled snail because of the sheer number of people on board. Thank God it stayed up, though, I think I would have flipped out altogether if it had gone down for any length of time.
