That whole day was completely surreal!
I remember wakeing up by alarm to go to work... and for some strange reason I switched on the tv... I never turn the tv on first thing.. It's usually the radio. But anyway, it was Katie and Matt on Today... And they were just sitting there trying to explain what they didn't really know.. it was live and they had thought a small plane had for some reason flown into the building... they had the live shot of the smoke coming from the first building... and it must have just happened cause they were completely bewildered... anyway, it got my attention so I stood there... then what looked like a black bird (the second plane) came around and hit the second building... Well the rest is history as they say, as far as what was actually happening...
But I was stunned... sitting there in disbelief.. My first thought was that the airport was totally screwing up the flight paths and they were directing planes in the wrong area... Not even really thinking that people steer these things... But to do it on purpose wasn't even in my thought process....
Anyway... sad, sad day for everyone everywhere - it has forever changed us as people I believe.
