This is a copy and paste from my post on PT
I was working Airside at Logan Airport when the planes took off. We heard of the first plane and we were already warned we would be leaving. When the second plane hit we dropped our tools and were sent home. We were putting utilities across some runways . We went home and I watched it on TV and couldn't believe it was happening. I got a call we had to go back and close up the runway. We were searched and the trucks pulled apart and searched too .
It was the most sobering experence I ever had . When we left there were 2-300 planes waaiting for take off. That afternoon the only plane allowed to land were escorted by two F 15s that stayed over the airport and Boston all day. The planes were carying family and company personal. We were guarded by snipers from the Ma state police . It was erie not a sound besides our work. It was hard to concentrate to say the least.
I January 2002 I went on a cruise . There were NY Fiemen and their families on it, who worked at the Tradecenter. As hard as they tried they were still messed up fom it . One minute smiling and having a good time the next lost somewhere in thought. I was heart breaking to see. I'm pretty reserved but there was one guy who got me to sing Jimmy Buffet songs at the piano bar with him.
I will never forget..........
