I was living in New Jersey then.  It was a very strange time.

I flew to LA a few weeks later, even there the atmosphere was really strange, a country in mourning and still on high alert.

I haven't been to ground zero yet. I wonder what it feels like. I definitely felt something when I went into the room at Parkland where Kennedy died.

I woke up and turned the tv on and couldn't believe it. I was on the WTC observation deck in April of that year. Five months later it was no longer there. Kinda creepy.

My brother in law bailed on a meeting in one of the towers that morning. Thank god.

^ Jesus.. that's insane.

I still cant watch that footage.  Knowing that there was so much death in that very instant (and sometime afterwards) overwhelms me.

Although geographically I am far removed from these incidents, I have a very clear memory of seeing the 2nd tower hit live on the news late at night here in Aust..  It was surreal and deeply sad to say the least.

I drive by the side of the pentagon that was hit every day. The bricks are a different color and you can clearly see where it was repaired. A friend of mine was 7 months pregnant and was in the pentagon that day. She walked 14 miles home after the attack. Holy shit.

I had a client scheduled for an afternoon meeting in one of the buildings (at Cantor Fitzgerald, which was relatively wiped out) and she called me from the street wondering what was going on, why it was cordoned off…and she still couldn't understand the severity because no words could describe it, and she was just on the street a few blocks away and couldn't see anything. This was just after I watched the 2nd tower get hit (I live 2 hours south, Philadelphia, and work in NYC often).  My three children at the time were ages 10, 12, 14. About 1pm I disconnected the cable, and put the radios away, and so for a week they only had school discussion, some internet, and print. I felt there was no reason for them to see 400 replays of it every three minutes ad infinitum. People later told me there were constant replays of jumpers, and so on. I'm still glad I shut it down for as along as I did.

Mariana, the considerably better looking other half of Winchy&Co is currently in labour.

1)  Therefore, please email or PM Paula or myself if you need anything urgently
2)  Judging by the amount of bandwidth currently being devoured by P and her family it's a bloody good job that Gosport recently upgraded to a fiber optic backbone

[Mild7]

Excellent news. Congrats winchy&Co!

Quit your winging pom.

[trail and arrow]
