QotD: Reflecting on September 11th

What are your personal memories of September 11th?

I turned on the TV because we were doing home testing.  I set a Recording for ABC looking for the bug.  When I saw the World Trade Centers smoking I knew something was wrong.  I watched the second plane hit.  I saw the people jumping from the buildings.  I saw the towers come down. 

I went to work that day in hope there would be confort in my co-workers.  I did end up finding the comfort.  I do not remeember getting any work done. 

That night I came home and walked the streets of San Jose.  The place seemed like a ghost town.  I was trying to figure out what was going on.  What was the world coming to.

I watched a lot of TV that week.  It was days of coverage of 9/11.  That was the only thing on TV for a week.  I remember that ABC broke their coverage with The Century.  It is a 12 hour documentry about some of the most important events of the 20th century.  I spent that whole day watching that.  It seemed like such a great move by ABC. 

Those are just some of the things I remember.
