There are several things that I will not forget. I was sitting in A&W eating when they announced that JFK had been assassinated. I was in a bunker for TET 68 for weeks. I was on duty when the Murra building was blown up. I was also on duty at an Air Traffic Control Center for 911. A new guy asked where to get a cup of coffee so I took him upstairs to the Cafe and saw the first tower on fire. The second plane came in and hit also. An Air Traffic Controller in total disbelief said how could he not see the towers with 15 mile clear visibility. It was a busy day and things were happening for weeks.
