Where were you on the morning of 9/11/01? 1. At work, watching the events on a lousy TV in a workmate’s cubicle. 2. Driving into work and listening to it on the radio. My wife (then girlfriend at the time) and I were pregnant with our first child, we weren’t together very long and we didn’t have a lot of money and seeing what happened that day really made her question bringing a kid into the world. Then she felt the baby move for the first time. ---

A co-worker called to tell us, we cancelled all appointments and spent the day on the Internet and listening to the radio, as TV coverage was knocked out. ---

At the local courthouse, discussing cases with other lawyers. Someone brought out a portable TV and we all watched in growing horror. The courthouse was closed within the hour, and I went home and hugged my wife and sons. ---

I only found out when I called someone who hadn’t called me as I’d expected about something. She told me what had happened. My son was too young to understand what was going on, so I could have the news on. ---

At home, I didn’t have work that morning, heard about it via internet friends in Seattle and Vancouver, strangely enough, since we live 50 minutes from WTC, hubby worked 6 miles away and saw the burning buildings from his window. Hubby’s brother, an NYC firefighter, got off work at 6AM and wasn’t allowed to go on the firetruck again. 9 firefighters from his firehouse were killed. Kids were still at home, the older one was 3 1/2 and the younger one was 1, I turned on the TV and didn’t think about their being able to understand. ---
