I had gotten out of bed just like any morning. While in the shower my wife told me that the news channel was reporting a plane crash, and that the plane had hit one of the Trade Towers. I thought that was odd, what a wierd thing for a plane to accidently crash and hit a building. When I had gotten out of the shower, she told me that another plane had hit, and we both knew it was an attack of some sort. At the time I had a yucky job at Big Valley Internet. They would not let us watch or listen to the news, so I snuck and listen to my buddies tiny workout radio all day. He let me borrow it since his type of tech work took him out into the field and he could listen to his radio. I listen so intently all day, with mixed emotions. Today I work for LLNL a weapons defense lab. I can say that I contribute to the research that will one day kill Usama as well as Saddam.
