My sister lives in a town called Monroe, NY. about 40 miles northwest of New York City. She commutes to Englewood NJ to work and she said that even at that distance in 2001, she could see the smoke cloud rising from ground zero.

I also remember some Pet Talkers had family members in or near the World Trade Towers, and were worried because the cell towers were out and they could not reach them. Thankfully folks were all accounted for eventually, but it was a gut-wrenching time for many people.

I was on the phone talking to my GF in Arkansas at the time. It had just come onto her news program, and she was telling me about it. I thought she was joking for a moment, but that soon changed.
