9/11 5th Anniversary

We are all Americans today.

-Le Monde

I never understood what the baby-boomers were talking about when they said they’ll never forget what they were doing the day JFK was assassinated. I realized what this meant 5 years ago today.

My little story – please feel free to share yours too…

I was listening to Howard Stern going in to work before my afternoon classes (I was an undergrad at the time). I heard that an airplane had hit one of the World Trade Center buildings and I remember thinking it was probably a 2 person small plane. Freak accident. Then I went into a deli near by to grab some breakfast and as I was watching on the small television there I saw -live- the second plane hit…

When I walked into my office everyone was in hysterics.
