911DA Story: Story
My son stayed in Colorado for the Broncos first season game at Mile High/Invesco. He was to fly back to NY on Tuesday morning 9/11. He woke me up and I saw the TV. I asked what movie he was watching. He told me that was live on the news. I really woke up and watched in horror as a place that I had taken out of town guests to crumbled in front of my eyes. The horror of it had not struck me yet. I had friends that worked there! I lost 4.
Fortunately, the terrorists did not know that NY is a 9 - 5 town. If that had happened at 11AM, we would have lost many more souls.
My son had to stay in Colorado for three more days until I could get him back to work. He drives a delivery truck in Manhattan. He lost 3 days wages.
His family could not reach him because so many of the telephone towers went down with the buildings. They were frantic. He called them on his cell phone and allayed their fears. All of my family in New York was safe. I heaved a sigh of relief and then cried for all the people that were lost. New York will never be the same.
