[QUOTE="Qlippoth, post: 334682, member: 1388"] That morning, last September, I woke up a tad late (normally I take an 8:30 am commuter train out of Boston, but I took the 9:05 instead). I got off the train, hopped into a cab, & gave my destination. The cabbie started his car, and looked at me and said, "I can't believe they did it! They bombed the World Trade Center!" I had no idea what he was talking about until I got to work (after the cabbie mentioned what methods he'd like to use to "get back at" those responsible. At work, it was impossible to log on to any news sites (unholy server loads), so I stuck with online radio. My co-workers kept sending little snippets of news over our network email...I don't think anything got done that day. The bosses (around 3pm) said if anyone wanted to leave & be with their family, that was OK. I stayed. Afterward, I saw all the oft-repeated tape loops, commentary, speculation, & polemics on TV, but didn't get much of a grasp of what TV was like that morning, until I stumbled on this site: [url]http://tvnews3.televisionarchive.org/tvarchive/html/index.html[/url] I didn't lose anyone that day (I had 3 friends in NYC at that point--1 saw the 2nd plane hit the WTC from his office 8 blocks north, 1 who watched the collapses from the roof of his Queens apartment, and the third? He had just delivered some office supplies to the WTC (had parked his truck by the service entrance) when the first crash happened. He was hit by "debris" (he refuses to describe it) and lost his truck under the rubble). I still can't fathom how terrible this event must have been. [/QUOTE]
