I was just thinking back.... I grew up back east, I used to go to NY a lot and had been in the towers many times, riding all the way to the top and looking down at the city... feeling the building sway back and forth with the wind, yes they moved when you were on the top...
When 9/11 happened - it struck a lot closer to home for me, granted I had moved to Cali by that time, but still - it was hard to watch over and over and over and over... another reason I could never forget is because my cousin, who had worked in those towers for at least 20 years, was at work on 9/11. He was on one of the lower floors - about to go up for a meeting, when it started... as the towers came down, he got into the stairwell and made it down and out before they collapsed, he was covered in ashes and blood, walked for blocks like that and finally some stranger pulled him into a store and poured water over his head so he could see. Our family did not hear from him for hours and hours, no one knew what happened to him. He lost about half his company that day, many, many friends and co-workers.
