Where were you on 9/11?

[RICHARD]

In the days after 9/11 I slept with the TV on. Somehow I thought that I would be able to get the first news about anything that would happen after the initial attack.

I woke up late one night and saw a tiny clip of an interview with a construction worker on the streets of NY.

The woman reporter was talking to a construction worker and asked him about going back into ruins to look for survivors.

He answered, in a giant, thick Aussie accent-and I paraphrase here-

"I have to go back, those are my mates in there...."

I was at work as a corporate travel agent. When all airports closed, we had stranded clients calling us, angry that they couldn't get home. Like it was our fault. Grown executives yet! But don't think everyone knew the seriousness of it immediately. There are only a few occurences that I still remember like it was yesterday, and this, of course, is one. I put a few Flags out already. Candles are ready.

I was at work. I work in a factory. Someone from the office came through and told all of us. They had a tv turned on in the conference room and told us we could go in there and watch the reports on our breaks.
