Oh yes, it was a sad and scary day.  So glad you and your family were okay.  I remember in the afternoon when we finally got in touch w/ my dad (the phones were all wacko that day).  He worked in midtown but was at a mtg somewhere else (and thankfully that was also in midtown but none of knew for a few hours).  And, yes, it was an ordeal for him to get home as well, but not as bad as your ride.  I remember seeing the smoke from my apartment for a week.

Very well written and thought provoking post Craig.  I just can imagine the multitude of questions and thought of those who survived that tragic day

Craig, what horror you witnessed first-hand.

Craig, that was a heart wrenching story told from someone (you of course) who actually witnessed what many of us only saw on television.  It's an anniversary that is sad we think of today.

Craig, yourpost brought tears to my eyes. Still so unvelievable what happened after all of these years.

Hi Craig,

Though living on the west coast at the time, it is something carved deeply in the memories of those of us here as well.  We felt your pain and were devestated at the loss of lives.  It is still unfathimable that people could willingly do that.

Thanks for sharing.
