10 years ago today....

Where were you, and what were you doing?

I was walking out the door to go to work, There was going to be a special on TV, so I quickly turned on the television so I could program the VCR.

I turned the set on just in time to watch the second plane slam into the towers live as it happened.

As a resident of New York, I was horrified at what I just witnessed, then NBC started flipping out, and then quickly cut to Washington to show the damage to the pentagon.

Shortly after the news reports of flight 93 going down in Pennsylvania, I realized that we were under a full attack, what's next.

The towers collapsed.

I called my customers and cleared my appointment list for the day.

We live 20 miles from a runway approach, even though we never hear a plane, I can always look up and see a few preparing for final approach.

Not that afternoon, the only planes overhead were fighter jets.. There is an air force base roughly 70 miles from here, and when they mobilized my place was right in the flight path to NYC....
