911DA Story: Story
About 9 a.m. I had my picture in picture on my webtv, probably of the weather channel and in came an email from my Israeli pen pal asking what was going on here. I switched to CNN and saw the first of the towers on fire, called everyone I could think of and listened to the musings of possible radar problems as the second plane hit right on my screen. I knew something very big was up then.
I can't forget the eeriness up here on the Upper West Side the next day. No traffic and pedestrians going about quite dazed at what had happened to our town. Of course just then, we weren't sure what might happen next.
It so happens I saw and spoke to Fr. Mychal Judge for the first time in quite a while just outside the 9th avenue seminary the Friday before he perished. I was back to the same corner the next week after he died with nothing but the fighter jets circling ominously.
