Lest we Forget

Lest we forget the terror attacks of September 11th 2001.  It has been 18 years, do you remember what you were doing that morning?  I had just dropped my kids off at their elementary school and was on the way to an exercise class when I heard the news on the car radio.  It was just after 9 am.  The story was more confusing at the beginning.  I pondered potential rescue scenarios.

On to my regular post, my neighbour dropped by with this fuzzy squash from his garden. I was told to peel the hard skin off prior to cooking it. It was good stir fried in garlic.

I was welcoming my first graders as they arrived at my classroom. They told me a plane had crashed into a tall building in New York. I told them that was very sad, but tried to reassure them saying I was sure it was probably a small plane. An hour later, I learned the truth.

Our GM had called me to show cnn on live in his room. I witnessed the plane crushed into th second tower around 4.00 pm. It was terrible.
I have still doubts how such a thing could be out of control in a super power state like USA.

Yes, I remember exactly what and where I was when 9/11 happened. I was with my 1 1/2 year old son at home, watching it on TV as it happening, and I thought it was a movie. It took a bit of time for me to realize it was an attack!

I remember 9/11. Sad that so many people died that day, and there are still first responders who are dying of cancer because of it.

Strange my oldest son was in middle school and my youngest one was either in fifth or sixth grade.
