Never Forget September 11th.
For some reason I turned on the TV that morning. Saw reruns of the first plane hitting the tower. Then they said there was another plane in the area. I got a bad feeling. Then it crashed into the second tower. The whole morning seemed surreal. Then the pentagon got hit. Then there was a missing plane. They weren't sure where it was or what to do about it. Speculation was that it was headed for the white house. Ended up crashing. Saw the chaos in the streets of NYC. At that point I didn't know what was coming next. All air traffic was grounded. Saw people jumping and falling to their deaths.
We trained these people. And the training schools reported them to the FBI and other authorities. Who apparently didn't talk to each other.
What bothered me the most was a few days later, during the searching mission, a woman [I think she was the gov. of New Jersey was standing next to the prez. and stated that the air was safe to breathe!!!!! Knowing that Freon and fire don't mix, burning plastics are toxic, asbestos dust flying around, and other unknown chemicals present are hazardous to people nearby; I wanted to throw something at her. Many of the rescuers have died and more will die and more will suffer because of her statement.
A day not to be forgotten.
