The country really changed after that tragic day. And we're still living under the national security umbrella state more than ever.
I had gone into the office early that morning. Got in at 7am and did not know about the planes hitting the towers till a little while later. I'm on the west coast. The only other person at the office was my boss. About 15 minutes later he comes running over to my cube and says have you been watching the news?! Just by the tone of his voice I knew something had happened. I was thinking something local to my area.
I said no, of course not. I'm busy trying to get this plan of action paper done for your 9am meeting. He's says drop it, meeting is cancelled, come over to my cube, now!! His cube had a TV and I'm watching the CNN replay of the twin towers being attacked. It was so surreal. Twin towers gone, Pentagon hit, Flight 93 vaporized in Pennsylvania. Under my breath I'm asking is this real??!! Yes, yes my boss screams and says we are now at war! With who? I don't know but rest assured we are going to war. I was speechless, dazed and confused.
He tells me he's going to call everyone not to come into work and you (me) email everyone to do the same. When finished go home. Minutes later my phone is ringing off the hook, it's my frantic wife asking do you have the kids?? No, I dropped them off at daycare like I do every morning. Wife: Go get them right now!!! Yes dear. Less than a minute later our private daycare lady is calling me. Hello. You need to come... Yes, I'm on my way.
I go get our kids, drive home and my wife is shaking like a leaf. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to understand just what in the hell is going on over on the East coast. I was glued to the TV & Internet till 3am. I honestly did not know what to think despite what the msm was feeding me.
Next day my wife stayed home with the kids and I was already back at work. Business as usual, but the whole work atmosphere was eerie quiet with about 80% of the employees remaining at home. About half stayed home rest of week.
One of my rich aunts lived in a NYC condo and from her balcony she watched both towers collapse. She was never the same.
