Where Were You...

I was driving up rt. 3 when I heard the report of the small aircraft on WEEI. I called my cousin Greg who was in the second tower and couldn't get through. I remember getting to work and at the time I worked with my younger brother, as soon as I walked in I knew something was wrong. I stayed until the second tower was hit then drove home. With all the conflicting reports I wasn't really sure what to think until I saw it on TV. I can remember trying to tell myself this wasn't happenning, none of it looked real. A very sad day for everyone who enjoys being an American. A couple of pictures from the 9-11 memorial in Plymouth. If you haven't seen this yet, stop by.It's worth it.

I was at work. One of the mechanics, Gil, said Fred, put on a radio. There were conflicting stories, small plane, then airliner, then another airliner, then another, then yet another. Gil came back over to my shop and said let's take an early lunch where there's a TV, bad stuff is going on. I left a grilled tuna sandwich on the bar untouched....and went back to work. One of the Brazilian guys asked me what was going to happen now. I told him that a lot more people were going to die...I've never felt more dejected in my life, never....
