The Good Yank wrote:I was on a train from New Brunswick New Jersey to Newark when the first plane hit. I was a warehouse manager at the time, but I'd set up the call centers for the company I worked for and had to go to hoboken that morning. I was waiting for a PATH train when I noticed everyone looking at the one tower that had alot of smoke coming from what seemed near the top. All of a sudden. noticed a plane going from left to right. Wham. Fireball. I just simply said "Oh F.uck Off" The anger inside me was something I'd never felt before. The clear attack on human lives had me simply stunned.Cell phone service was a mess so I used a pay phone to call my cousin who worked at WTC. He was just getting to work when the first plane hit and thought "F.uck this I'm not going up there"
It seemed like not much time had passed until the towers came tumbling down. After that a co-worker and I went into a bar near the station in Newark and got completely smashed with dozens of others. It was a quiet drinking session No annimosity towards who had done it (although we had already suspected Bin Laden the second the second plane hit). I knew a couple that were on their way to California that went down in the field in Pennsylvania, couldn't believe a honeymoon could end like that.
I had eight friends who lost their lives that day. I wonder sometimes what their lives would be like now, had the attack not happened. I wonder what the world would be like now had it not happened. No senseless war, maybe the economy would have been stronger etc. Most of all though, I miss my friends.
RIP for all who died on 9/11

Sorry Wool, but do you mean around ground Zero or around Strawberry Fields? I take the wife and kids to Strawberry Fields at least twice a year and there always is some atmosphere.
