I was working in New York for a very large American Company on an I.T project. I stayed in the hotel opposite the twin towers. I watched the men cleaning the windows on the tower on the 10th Sept. Way above my head on those crazy outside platforms. We had finished what we setout to do so I asked my boss if I could leave early as it was my sons 2nd Birthday the next day. He was great and told me to get going. I flew out of JFK that evening and arrived in the UK early on the 11th. My son had just gone to bed for his afternoon nap around 2 in the afternoon. I switched on the tv and one of the towers was on fire. I double taked and thought I was watching a movie. Then wham, the second one exploded in front of my eyes. The guy from the news channel in the helicopter who was live on air was saying it wasn't a commercial flight, no windows and no commercial plane markings. Later that day my good friend in NY lost a brother, he was one of the first fire fighters to go in.
I watched in horror glued to the tv in shock. Today we are celebrating my sons 22nd birthday but will always remember the people who died that day and subsequently later from air polution poisoning.
Your story reminds me of how, when watching the TV coverage of the towers burning, it looked real, but when I was outside actually looking at the towers burning, it looked fake!
I did, you are spot on and although I have to admit, I stay away from MSM particularly on this day and focus on enjoying my sons birthday but I am always thankful and grateful that I got out of there the day before...
