Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The morning of September 11, 2001 started like no other morning for me. I had to travel from Miami, Fl to Ft. Lauderdale, Fl for a very important job interview. My wife (at that time my girlfriend) and I discussed ways to travel and I advised her that I will use the Tri-Rail (commuter train) since the meeting place was in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel next to the airport. By the time, I arrived to my destination (0900 am est) the first tower was already hit. The hotel lobby was full of airplane pilots and stewards whom were crying due to they knew some of the people on that plane. We all sat next to the bar, where a big 60 in tv was showing us the last minute details. We were together when we saw the next tower being hit and by the time I went to the interview, I had just finish seen the collapse of the first tower. I became speechless and at the same time, send a pray to my old friend that resided in NY and whom just got married less than a year ago. As of this day, I don't know if she survived the accident due to she used to work very close to the towers along with her new husband. It was hard doing the interview and as soon as I finished, I returned to Miami in the train. I managed to get to my work, where my boss was worry about me because she knew that I am a former military and a member of the red cross volunteer team. I contacted my girlfriend and stated at work for a few hours. I can never forget that day and will be in my mind like many others days.
