Here on the west coast I had just arrived at work. The nightshift crew said a plane had just flown into the WTC. FoxNews was on the TV and we watched in shock as the morning unfolded. Disbelief and horror over the attack on our country. Two things I remember in great clarity...maybe others have it stand out in their memories too...how clear and blue the sky was that day in NY. Not a cloud in the sky, no haze. Just that brillant blue sky. The second thing was a documentary I watched many months later....two french brothers were doing a documentary on a fire house in Manhattan. One of the brothers was filming some fire fighters checking out a gas leak on a street in lower Manhattan. His camera panned up as the men working in the area looked up and watched in disbelief as the first plane flew into the first tower. The looks on their faces as this huge shadow passed overhead then you saw the plane slam into the tower. Those two things stand out the most from many, many impressions and images from that day of horror. I will never forget. Never. From time to time I read the original FR thread from that morning. I didn't catch it until later in the day. What a wonderful live time commentary of that day. Freepers are the greatest.
God Bless the souls of the innocent men and women and children lost to this cowardly act of terror.
God Bless the fire fighters, police and military serving our great country. God Bless America.
