I feel so much better because I too thought it was"war." When the first tower went down our building shook and the lights went out and I ran under my desk like they taught us in the third grade (I'm a post WW2/Korean War kid); but I felt so foolish because I am probably older than many of the people in my office were and they don't know about "war" drills--called when I was a kid "shelter" drills.  I kept waiting for the bombs to fall on 9/11.  On this anniversary of 9/11, 2011--God Bless.

I cried throughout...just so human. The old hand that asked to be held. I was ruined when I read that. I hope someone was able to help that man. Then there was the woman who led you to her apartment...I really have nothing else to say, except I have experienced your life through that post and this has changed my life. Peace.

I have heard a lot of eye witnesses say they were convinced that explosives were detonated at the towers. No need to answer me here, it would be awesome to hear your opinion through email though.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. You have experienced SO MUCH that it's hard to comprehend just as an outsider. I'm not sure how you do it.
