Thanks for sharing that film Janne! My mother was great and was a super support to that family. Was there comforting every step of the way.
Thanks for the kind words Mal.
PonyBoy it was awful. I was on a train (one which I never take) and as soon as we were in the middle of the bridge the conductor stopped the train and announced “Those of you who work near the twin towers may want to take a look at the left side”. We all scrambled to see one of the 2 towers on fire. When I got off the train both towers were on fire I think and I began to walk straight to the towers. Don’t ask me why. I have no fucking idea. I think because as far as I knew it was just an awesome sight and my mind was unable to comprehend what it was uploading. Once I got within about 6 blocks people began to rush towards me and one women was crying and screaming “They’re jumping!”. I looped right the fuck around. I did not want that burned in my memory.
The sound was just earth rumble. Not good.
Janne we launched Newstoday a couple of months before 9/11.
