I'll never forget where I was and what I was doing that morning.
I was Chief Engineer of an industrial plant and one of the line workers came and told me he heard on the radio a plane hit the WTC in NY. I thought, must be bad visibility, how do you hit something that big and I assumed it was a single engine Mooney or Cessna and went on about my business.
Few minutes later the same guy all wide eyed caught me and said, "it was a 747!"
Now I'm wide eyed, and hustle myself up to the conference room and turned the TV on to CNN. There it was, black smoke flowing out of one of the towers on a completely clear weather day. I went to summon the rest of the managers and pretty soon the GM, plant mgr, production mgr and all of their assistants, were watching when the second plane hit. More next post.
