I still remember it well. I was doing some work in a 15 story building on an empty top floor. I went down to go outside for a smoke break. The receptionist ask if I heard about the plane crashing into a building in NYC. I had not.
I went outside and across the street from was a bank with a big display window with a big tv that usually displayed the stock market stuff.
I saw a group of people standing there and I walked over to see what was going on. There was no sound, just videos of the plane crash. A few minutes later, the second plane crashed and I was like oh fuck !
Called my boss to tell him I had a family emergency and going home for the day.
Then called my wife at the time, now ex , to tell her and I was coming to get our 3 year old daughter from daycare and coming home.
My son was 10 days old and she was home taking care of him on maternity leave.
I stayed glued to the TV.
The day our world changed.
