I know this has to be the five hundreth blog posting on 9-11..but anyhow.
Every year our generation ask where we were on 9/11.. I was working at downtown Chicago on this day. At the Field Museum of Natural history nearly wrapping up a contract job. I got the call soon after the second plane hit not to go to work that day because the museum would be closing down that day. ..Tell you the truth some of the things I saw on TV run through my head. The people hanging from windows trying to escape the flames dropping to the ground below....I dont watch documentaries of that day because I was floored.
it took me a some time to snap out of that. It was a feeling I didn't want to be in again.
I listened to Howard Stern in the morning as the third plane hit the Pentagon. The biggest worry my Mom was telling me was where were all the planes they couldn't find. And drop on a population center anywhere.
I felt we have been comfortable and rather ignorant that we are untouchable. As a student of history those who have done this are rarely brought to justice. But I feel we should have been pursuing this guy for the last couple of years than fighting in a war that had nothing or very little to do with the War on Terror.
I feel the events could have been prevented... As long as we are strong and keep viligent something like this should never ever happen again.
Remember thank our troops for making this sacrfice for us. Light a candle today.
