[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the NYC suburbs, but I was living in San Francisco at the time.  I woke up to my clock radio, wondering why I was hearing Peter Jennings voice.  The talk station was just broadcasting the ABC newsfeed.  I put on the tv and saw the two towers burning.  I tried to call my dad in NY, but my sister who lived in Europe at the time had called first and asked him to put the phone to the tv so she could hear what was going on.

I saw the first tower fall and knew in an instant thousands of people had just died.  In a daze I got showered and dressed and headed to my job downtown.  It was the same clear blue sky that the pp mentioned above.  There were more people leaving on the underground trains than heading in.  When I got to my office my boss said we were closed and to just go back home.

Spent the day watching the news, and only later in the day remembered that my cousin worked as a chef at Windows on the World.  The phone lines were jammed and no one could calls through in the NY area.  Took another day to find out he was safe.  [/quote]
