Re: 11th September 2001. what was you doing?
was driving into work , heard on NPR that there had been an accident involving a plane in NYC, the next report said a second plane had crashed , it was an early start that day had people coming in to work pre-shift "overtime" , got to work opened the plant up , put coffee on and turned on the small TV the receptionist used for her soap operas , unbelievable ....then folks started coming in , they started watching it .......all in silence , when the towers came down , no-one could believe it , how could this happen ,after reports of the 3rd and 4th planes came in everyone was just in shock and waiting ...........
I remember that since no work was getting done and the phones were silent we decided to close for the day and sent everyone home , but I still had to pay the "overtime" for the guys who came in early
9/11 was scarier to me than the Loma Prieta/Bay Area earthquake in 89 when I was gassing up my truck and the overhead powerlines started popping and dropping
