I was at work and the wife called, saying something happened with the first tower. Like a plane or something. I recalled a B-17 or similar hit the Empire State Building back in the 30s or 40s so figured it was something similar and the weather was bad (as it was back then). Eventually wandered by a TV to catch the news, and saw it was a clear day so WTF? Just then the second plane hit live. That was a sobering moment, but not as shocking as to most. Watched off and on for awhile, and called the wife back. Told her one or both will fall, an hour or so before they did (structural engineering classes, wood and steel, thanks to good ole UT). Anyway I was pretty sure they wouldn't last. They didn't, wasn't surprised.
Fought the GWOT for 15+ years.......I got my pound of flesh for that day.
