Remembering 9/11... 10 years later

[MTK]

I was stuck at work for the day too. I was working a dead end job at a big box retailer at the time. Saw it all unfold live on TV. Assholes in corporate decided to leave the stores open, just in case someone wanted to shop for a PC or TV that day I guess. There were literally no customers the entire day. I often think back to that and wonder who's bright idea that was to stay open while the country was literally under attack, and if they feel like a piece of crap to this day.

Back to the events of the day, I remember someone coming into the back office saying a plane had hit one of the towers. I just figured it was a small commuter type of plane, then a few minutes later said something along the lines of holy shit, this is serious, come see this.
