I had to abandon ship that morning to call my parents. Mom was crying that she never thought she'd see anything worse than the Oklahoma City bombing, and I could only stare at the television and think that the Murrah Federal building could have easily been fit twice into the gaping hole in the first tower. At that moment I never dreamed I'd be watching both towers collapse within the hour.
Gives me the chills to read this again now.
Just stumbled across this thread and wanted to comment. Notice the date 2/3/2002, I still get chill bumps. Reading this account over still pisses me off that this happened. And that @ss h*le chole, I think I have cussed him three times today!
