I was at work on 911, and my office is mobil all over the state of utah, I just happened to be in provo that day, and I was driving to a business meeting. I heard the news, and immediately called home to check on my partner, then called my aunt in houston, as she has a daughter in new york. It turns out that My cousing was supposed to start contracted work on the twin towers that day, but was running late because of traffic. Unlike so many others, he was able to go home to his family that night. I was late to my meeting, because of all the emotions, and phone conversations, and just taking a moment to let everything sink in.
