Saw Mark Haines on CNBC narrate video associated with the first plane hit, just before leaving for a dentist appointment, minutes from the house.
Mentioned it to the dentist office staff, so they turned on the TV.
Minutes later an assistant hurried into where I was just getting situated in the dentist chair and said the second tower had been hit and it was terrorists.
I spent the next few moments explaining to a curious young assistant why anyone would do such a thing.

“Saw Mark Haines on CNBC narrate video associated with the first plane hit...”

Mark Haines. If anyone deserved a Pulitzer or Emmy for his coverage of that terrible day, it was the voice-of-reason, *Conservative*, and all-around standup guy Mark Haines. Despite being in Manhattan, and possibly in danger, he held it together and was a beacon of calm reassurance all through America’s most uncertain hours. My Hero.
