I was at work for the FAA when all this happened. We had a new guy a Marine and it was his second day at work. He asked where he could get a cup of coffee to I took him upstairs to the cafeteria. I was over at a table talking when the the second tower was hit. An Air Traffic Controller walked away greatly disturbed saying to himself how could he hit the tower with 15 mile visibility? It was a long strained day to follow and dragged on for months.
Was in the lobby of an elementary school as the children entered for the day. Realized that my open arms and the entire trunk of my body had little hands grasping them as we all watched in horror! Have often wondered if those babies got as much comfort from holding on as it gave me!
