On 9/11, I was sitting in my living room drinking a cup of coffee watching the news on tv and just about ready to get up and head to the office to begin the work day. The news cut into the scene at the WTC showing what was going on with the tower because of the plane crash. As I watched the news I saw the second plane fly into the other WTC building. I thought to myself, some air traffic controller is in very deep shit this morning but then it became apparent that this was a planned event because of all the other plane take-overs. I got myself another cup of coffee and continued to watch and eventually called my office and said that I would not be coming in to work today and to let everybody go home with pay. I watched the news on tv all day long.
