At home. First reports were "a small aircraft"... as soon as I saw the hole, told Mitsy we were under terrorist attack. She was insistent she was going to work, I was trying to convince her not to go, she went anyway. Called home after the Pentagon strike, in tears and saying she was on her way back. I kept waiting to hear bad news from the west coast as well.
Hateful day.

I was at work. Got a call from a colleague who told me a “small plane” hit the trade center. I told him it was impossible for a “small plane” to be flying over the Manhattan airspace.
Because I had a customer in the trade center I used to be in the building quite often. On that day I was lucky to be in my office.

On a plane returning from the UK.
Was on the golf course. Perfect September day - not a cloud in the sky. Strange - no planes in the air except for a couple of helicopters. One member of our foursome quit at the 9th hole to go sit with his wife who was hysterical. My take was that there was absolutely nothing that we could do now and just finish the round. To quit meant the terrorists would have won.

Sitting at my desk and listening to a conf call. While listening I was checking the news online. When the story came up, messaged a friend to check the news feed. She though it was just an unfortunate accident, I didn't see how it could be since it was so clear that morning in NYC. Knew for sure it was no accident when the report came up of the second one.

Was sitting at the dealer waiting to pick up my mom's new Buick watched it unfold on the TV in the waiting room, everyone just kinda stopped what they were doing and watched. Looking back on it it was surreal. Completely unrelated but something I always thought of as oddly coincidental; the previous Buick we had owned was purchased in Dallas on 11/22/1963.

Great play.... saw it on Broadway last year.

I'm going to pass up the inappropriate pun this time out of respect to the President but, in short, nothing. I was still seventeen years away from being.

SWMBO has a colleague who was one of the plane people in Gander. Quite an amazing story.
And have seen Come From Away twice - cried through a good portion both times.

Great show and lessons learned that proves we can all coexist.
