Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I left for work on the morning of September 11, 2001 at 7:45am as I always do. It is only a 15 minute drive to my office and I wanted to be in at 8:00. Even though our office does not officially open until 9:00, I am always in at 8:00. I enjoy that hour of solitude to ease into my day before my co-workers arrive and the chaos begins. We are accountants and CPA's of which I am one of the partners. September 15 is a big deadline for us and the day was expected to be long and very busy. We had just landed a new account a few weeks before 9/11/01. This new company had offices in Tower B of the World Trade Center. If fact just the week prior to 9/11/01 I was in those offices. I live and work only 15 miles from New York City. At around 8:45am a co-worker came running into my office to tell me that one of the World Trade Center towers was hit by a twin engine airplane. My response was impossible - go back to work- you must be mistaken. As the next few minutes unfolded it turned out he was mistaken and our September 15 deadline quickly became unimportant. The good news is all of the employees of our new client with the offices in the trade center got out alive. The bad news is that there were so many people in our area who did not get our. The horror of that day still makes me cry. It was the first time in my life I was afraid for my life. We did not know if there were more attacks coming. I was 37 years old at the time and now realize a whole generations innocence was lost that day. We will never be and should never be the same.
