Where were you on 9/11/01

I was QA Supervisor at the time and happened to be in the office with the radio on. The Dj said that "a small plane went off course and crashed into the WTC", then he made some joke about women drivers. My wife called and asked if I had heard. She saw it on TV, but couldn't tell me what kind of plane it was, she didn't know I was thinking "small plane". She told me she thought it was a terrorist attack and she thought they would get the other tower, too. I told her she was crazy and paraniod (I had been told by the dependable DJ that it was an accident, he wouldn't lie). Later we heard about the other plane. The station I was listening to had about 45 minutes of dead air after that. The plant manager closed down for the day and sent everyone home. I lived about 10 minutes away and got home in time to hear about the Pentagon. That plant was in "small-town" Alabama, no one was the same after that.

Remember those bumper stickers that read "we will never forget"? I think a lot of people have.
