Time for mourning after we avenge our dead.<br /> <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-7504038020287737072015-09-12T00:50:12.322-04:002015-09-12T00:50:12.322-04:00I was working at DirecTV at the time, and we had a...I was working at DirecTV at the time, and we had access to the network feeds live from the scene.<br /><br />We saw a lot of things that never made it on air......drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-75688622602385995442015-09-12T00:12:29.674-04:002015-09-12T00:12:29.674-04:00Yep, I was sitting in a plane waiting to leave NYC...Yep, I was sitting in a plane waiting to leave NYC when the first plane hit. Spent the night on Long Island waiting for bridges to re- open. Saw the smoke rising from the Pentagon when crossing the Potomac, then hit the tropical storm in JAX while driving 26 hours straight. It was the East Coast Disaster Tour. Saw a flatbed truck heading North up I-95 with a vehicle belonging to one of the hijackers around Daytona Beach, with what must have been 2 or 3 dozen black Surburbans in escort and a dozen state troopers, all with lights flashing. Could not retrieve my pickup in the airport long term parking 'til later in the week. The authorities were running the tags of all the vehicles and towing some vehicles farther from the terminal. My pickup was left untouched. Was laid off a few weeks later, as airline travel ceased, and Research product development ceased. Was unemployed for 5 months before finding another job. Needless to say, life changed. The worst part was seeing hundreds of small black objects flying out of the towers, and later seeing videos that clarified what I had seen were humans choosing not to be incinerated.

We missed it when the first plane hit, but watched the second one as it happened. My colleague turned to me and said, "We're at war, buddy." I'll never forget that moment. Malatropenoreply@blogger.com
