[quote:GSB/LTD:MV80MTM3MTY3Xzc1MTQzNjcxX0YxMzMzRjM=] For 30 years, I always took my birthday off from work and 9/11/2001 was no expception. I'd turned 49 shortly after midnight and was sleeping in late, or so I thought. Like the OP, my Mom called and said [i]"something's happened in NY"; [/i] CLICK. I turned on the TODAY Show, saw the crawl on the screen and the smoke from the first hit and immediatly popped a VHS tape into the machine. I'd seen history unfold LIVE on TV before when Ruby shot Oswald and then-as-now was sucked into the tragedy as we all first wondered [i]"what went wrong?"[/i] and then, [i]"who could [u]do[/u] this kind of thing?" [/i] And -just like back in 1963- I was glued to that screen trying to absorb the enormity of what I was seeing. It had a surreal quality that part of my brain insisted, [i]"this can't be happening" [/i]while the greater rational lobes slapped me in the face and screamed, [i]"Oh, yes it IS!" [/i]I ended up filling four tape cassettes over the next 24 hours as my recorder constantly whirred away -switching from network to network in the process- watching our stunned nation as it stopped in it's tracks. And history repeated all over again. [/quote]
Original Message
I was on the couch asleep and my mom called and told me.
I turned on the tv to see the second plane hit live.
I thought it was a replay of the first plane at first.
An hour later my military friends phoned and said they were headed out
