I was in midtown when the towers fell. We watched from a TV in the office. Then we spent the rest of the day trying to get home. The World Trade terror and tragedy, as well as the ensuing anthrax scare, had a strong psychological effect on me which lingers today. I lost my job shortly thereafter partly because of anxiety about coming to work in Manhattan. And although I love New York, I no longer enjoy going into the city and don't know if I'll ever work there again.

I stumbled upon your site this morning as I was contemplating my wannabe writer's life. Fate. Then, I came across this entry. I live in Texas, as does my family. My husband took an unexpected business trip to New Yorkthree days before 9-11, and on that horrible morning he called to tell me one of the buildings in the Trade Center had been hit. And from there the day unraveled. He had plans to fly home later that morning. He couldn't get out for a week. When 9-11 rolls around every year, we all have our remeberances. I am gateful my husband came home. I know how close we came to losing a life that we had built and cherished, and I feel for those who did lose what they loved. I have been rooting around your site and nodding my head in agreement. Don't know if you will see this comment, as it is an old post, but I wanted to pop in and say hello. Hello.

I had considered the people that got killed and I considered the people (like myself) that live here and showed up on the scene later. I had never considered the people that FELT LIKE they were going to die..... but didn't. I saw the people covered in "dust" on television. A friend of mine was in Brooklyn on the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge, and she described to me seeing all these people walking across the bridge covered in dust. I never thought about things from the inside of that group. wow

I remember thinking, whoa (and then some). So glad you are here with us today. So glad to see all the growth and good things since then. Blessings to you and your family.

It was probably one of only three such improbable surreal experiences I've ever had. Just having finished a 10 hour shift, I remember being awoken to conversation over the radio about WTC. Difficult in a lot of ways, especially for someone who at the time walked a nightly route towards, around, and through tall buildings, among them The John Hancock to a security assignment. 9/11/01 was the second major event behind New Year's Eve Millenium ( DEC 31 1999 ) I had the misfortune of working on and the days after. As I told Penelope, the nights after 9/11 were somewhat of a concern needless to say, but like any other person doing my type of job, I felt I had to put my personal feelings aside and do it no differently as before. - Tom Haverhill, Mass I sent an e-mail to Penelope about my experiences working as a security guard on 9/11/2001.
