Remembering 9/11... 10 years later

[Schneed10]

I remember being at work, having graduated just 4 months earlier from college, and hearing it all over the radio. A group of us were huddled around the radio listening to the frenzied call of the radio host/disc jockey as the towers fell. Shortly thereafter our boss came around and said I understand there are major events taking place but unless you plan to take a personal day then you need to be working.

So on the same day I learned what it was like to feel threatened by foreign enemies of state, I also learned what not to do as a boss!

For a good couple of weeks after those attacks I remember feeling uneasy everytime I heard a plane overhead. I felt like I needed to look up and make sure it wasn't coming down at me. Amazing how something can rattle all that you take for granted.
