It's one of those things that everyone who was an adult at the time will remember what they were doing when they heard about it. I remember waking up to my clock radio and hearing it all over the news, it was just before I got my first job overseas. I didn't think much about it until I heard the terrorists had hijacked planes and flew them into some buildings - it was like the plot from a cheap Hollywood movie.

I ended up knowing two guys who lost their jobs as a result of it - neither were in the buildings that day for whatever reasons, they ended up working in the same city in Asia and being good friends.I always thought it was a weird set of circumstances, they might well have walked past each other every day and never imagined their lives would be turned upside down by something so outrageous, and the anonymous guy they probably saw in the elevator or the coffee shop or wherever all the time and never paid any attention to would end up a good friend, on the other side of the world, because someone flew a plane into the building they both worked in.

Airline crashes are not uncommon, but did you know that in the entire history of aviation there have only been two commercial airline crashes in the world where the aircraft debris (wings, tail-planes, engines, seats, etc.) was never found. Not even a solitary landing gear than bounced down the road into a farm house.

Most amazingly, both of those crashes ocurred on the same day.

I was sitting in Queens that morning, waiting to go to classes in city. I normally did not watch TV in the morning but that morning I decided to watch the news.

Obviously, did not go to school that day. My gf was on the last train let into Manhattan. She had to walk across the bridge to get home.

The next few days were wild. Bars and restaurants were packed and New Yorkers were hugging in the streets. My archeology prof hugged me, too.
