The world was shocked when 2 planes hit the world trade center buildings in New York. I remember sitting at work watching that but not really believing what I was seeing. I cant believe its been that long but I still remember it like it was yesterday. RIP to all those that lost there lives that tragic day.

Very well said Fubar!

It is amazing how vivid that day remains in my mind, yet almost everything else that happened that year seems so far away in time.

I remember driving home from Baltimore after hearing about the towers and listening to the radio as the Pentagon was hit and thinking - "Well, that's it - we're (Baltimore is) next." And wondering where the plane would hit.

I was delivering in Houston, and thinking the same thing, where next??? The days that passed with 0 planes in the air was erie too. It's amazing all those Brave people who went in those buildings knowing they most likely wouldn't come back out, but still did it to try and save other's. I get choked up every time I think of those Brave souls. They are the real defintion of "HERO's"
R.I.P. You are gone, but NEVER forgotten

Great post Dave! Thanks

I flew from Syracuse to Orlando yesterday. When I booked my flight months ago I didn't even think about the date - it was just the most convenient time to fly. Afterwards I thought to myself, holy cow could I have picked a worse day to fly?

As it turned out it was one of the best flights I have ever taken. Both airports were empty and there were only 10 people on our plane. We also landed 45 minutes early. I think most people were hesitant to fly on such an infamous date, which thankfully made for a great travel day for the few of us who were in the air.

Cheers,
Speed
