911DA Story: Story
We lived three blocks away from World Trade Center on he morning of 9/11, and we saw he attacks on the Twin Towers first hand. We experienced the fright, the disbelief, the crash of the towers, the shock, and the evauction a cople fo hours later from our home.
My wife, daugheter and I left what resembled a war zone, and walked east and then north, towards Brooklyn Bridge, in a cloud of white debris and dust, barely able to breath. And then, barely half a mile north, we walked out into the sun and looked back at Lower Manhattan and our home, now covered in dust and debris and smoke.
We kept marching north, and kept looking back in disbelief at what had once been. We kept walking north, where we did not really know, trying to call our friends and family and report that we were ok.
We wee back home a week later.
