Rome, Italy. Just got back from a tour of the vatican, turned on the tube, only English station was CNN, this was just after the first plane hit. We have friends who worked in the WTC and that was my first thought, were they ok? I said to my wife, we're at war and stuck in another country. We were scheduled to fly 9/12 home and it took a close to another week to finally get back. It really hit us when we were back in the states, suddenly there were American flags everywhere, suddenly it all became real.
On 9-10-01, I returned to Orlando after a weekend of fishing at the Canal. Once home, I realized that I had left a Rapala fillet knife in my carry-on bag, which went through screening at Logan with no issues.
On 9-11-01, I was back at work at the Kennedy Space Center on a Tiger Team, trouble shooting mechanical problems on a new payload canister transporter.
All of the best were in a meeting, when we were interrupted that a plane had hit one of the WTC towers. Initially we all thought that it had been a small plane inflicting minimal damage, so we kept working.
Our meeting was broken up when the second plane hit, and we were ordered back to our stations, at the same time the KSC was in a complete lock-down.
The mere fact that the "box-cutters" have been targeted as the weapon of choice shows the pure audacity of the perpetrators of the greatest crime in our nation's history, especially due to the fact that on the day preceding the event, I inadvertently passed through Logan airport screening with a razor sharp fillet knife.
Today, I can not carry a barroom pizza, let alone a drink of water, through the TSA screeners.
P.S. I feel so much safer after removing my worn shoes / sneakers.
Driving to work along the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn. I could see the skyline most of the way. Saw the second plane hit from a bridge over Gerritsen Creek in Sheepshead Bay. My eyes were way ahead of my brain at the time--I kept telling myself that I really didn't see what I just saw
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

It's our country, we need to open some eyes that it is being taken over by the criminal bankers, politicians, and judicial.
Taxation without representation is tyranny.
I am not sure what you are trying to say buy posting this clip. But if you are hinting towards a conspiricy theory, please go peddle your bull s#$% somewhere else. Have some respect for the people who lost there life on 9/11.
