911

This is the day the radical extremist ragheads rammed the twin towers. Unless your like micheal moore and believe the towers are still there and it's all done with mirrors.

A traumatic day both from those of us that had friends that died and those that watched a symbol of American technical expertise vanish from our lives. I had been up in the towers a few times during the late 70s and 80s. We bought our show tickets in the lobby. I was thrilled by the view of NYC and excited by the slight swaying of the tower. Since it was part of my memories and since we knew folks who worked there, when we watched it on television that fateful morning, it was embedded in our memories. Several us us suffered severe traumatic times and it was one of the reasons we got out of the carnival business a year or so later. Nothing was and nothing is the same for most of us.
The irony was that the towers had gone empty for years and could not attract tenants, but by that horrible day...it was almost completely rented.

I'll never forget that day. I was unemployed at the time and was home. I could see the highway from my house and the long lines of people trying to rush to purchase fuel and looking at the sky and everyone suspiciously and with fear.

I remember that day quite well. I was on crutches from a knee injury at work. I was working in the office on lite duty, the TV turned to sports in the dayroom. My boyfriend had gone home after dropping me off. Then he called, I quickly switched the TV over to a news channel and we watched in stunned silence, tears streaming down our faces. I remember recalling people diving out windows, landing on the ground like thumping watermelons. For days we sat glued to our TVs, watching , hoping, that they would find someone alive. During that time, I thought of a saying. USA doesn't stand for United States of America, it stands United Stands America. We all pulled together, we all prayed for the victims, the survivors, their families, we all stood together in that horror. A day etched in our time, that we will never forget.
