Remembering Sept. 11 2001

[IndySam]

Nothing remarkable about how I watched it. I was at work like most people and watched it on the TV in the break room, like most I can remember every moment of it.

After the second tower fell I went outside. It was a beautiful day with a brilliant blue sky without a single cloud. On a day like that in Indy you can usually see 10 contrails in the sky and if you look you can easily spot at least 4 or 5 jets.

It was dead quiet, no noise from the planes, no vehicles on the roads (my office was in a mostly residential area and by then most people were at home or work watching what was going on) even the birds were quite like they knew something was wrong. Absolute dead silence. I was in the middle of 800,000 people and it seemed like the whole world had stopped and I was on an island all by myself. Never will forget that feeling.
