Michelle and I were out in NY, visiting my Dad. I woke up and turned on the TV to check the weather because we had planned to go into lower Manhattan that day, and we saw the initial video of the first plane. We watched live as the second one hit, and for a moment, we (and the newscasters too) thought we were watching a re-cap of the first plane. It was instantly nauseating when we realized that there was a second one, because at that moment you then knew without any doubt that it was intentional...
Then the reports about Flt 93, and the Pentagon, came in...Just the most terrible feelings...
As an aside, if you haven't read it, the book "103 Minutes" is an amazing set of personal stories of the events, collected and assembled in chronological order, from those who were at ground zero that day, and it is a compelling read.
God Bless all of those souls lost on 9/11 and all the people that gave everything that they possibly could to help them. We will never forget you.
