“Where were YOU on September 11th, 2001?”
I was on my job on the 5th floor of the Social Security Building in downtown Baltimore. I had just started on some paperwork when I overheard some co-workers talking about a plane crashing, at first I didn’t think it was much more than a plane crashing on land somewhere, but I got curious and turned on my radio and found out what they were really talking about and started to panic as I was in a federal building, which seemed at the time to be a target for some crazy nutters. I was still in disbelief and shock when I was hearing about the first plane going into the first building of the World Trade Center and then another into the Pentagon. I filled out a leave slip so fast and slapped it on my managers desk before she even got into work. I was so scared I didn’t know what was happening.
I know exactly the building. The iconic “bridge” building over Rte 40. Been driving right under there a few times last month going to Hopkins.
