I was in a staff meeting when my secretary interrupted to tell me that an airplane had just crashed into the World Trade Center. I immediately went to my office and turned on CNN to watch the live coverage. As I was watching and trying to reason as to how a passenger airliner had been so far off course, the second plane hit. At that time, I instantly knew that it was not accident and that I lives had been changed forever. Not long afterward we heard that the Pentagon had been hit and I was to find out that I had lost several good friends that day.
