911DA Story: Story
I was at the office on that day of infamy. Like Lower Manhattan it was a beautiful September morning. I was at my desk listening to the local AM Talk radio station. CBS News radio was on;that's when I heard Dan Rather break in of crash into the first tower of the WTC. At that time details were vague;by 9am I got up out my cubicle and went to the break room. Everyone that I worked with was there;there eyes glued to the tv set. Frankly I couldn't belive what the hell had happened. I saw the first tower fall. I found it hard to believe.
After the towers and later the Pentagon was hit;our office was in complete shock. We couldn't believe what had just happened. We were raddled. Everything had changed that morning and by thursday morning we were under a Forcecom Charlie which was later changed to Threatcon Charlie.
Words can't really describe that day....since that day of infamy I'm now a 9/11 historian.
