For some reason I watched CNN that morning, I never watch during the day, I saw the second plane hit live.
We wanted to know what we could do… the Mayor got on TV and said “we need tourists back, we need you to start the economy again”, so wifey and I packed up and flew down one week after it happened.
This is something that I will never personally forget, nor has it weakened in memory as it approaches the seven year anniversary.
Sadly, I look around and many have forgotten, thanks for the link.
And I'd like to thank you for that Murph! The city was devastated for awhile. I lost some friends down there. We had a 49,000 ton Air Conditioning Plant there. Our guys were down there with breathing apparatus and robots to retrieve the thousands of lbs. of freon still in our machines. The machines were still intact, a testament to those old York chillers!
Downtown was closed for weeks to everyone but rescue workers, then months more unless you worked down there. People were not allowed to return to their homes down there for quite a while either.
I'll never forget this as long as I live. I get goose bumps as I write this and still want to kill all those MF's that did this. So don't talk about religion as if it applies to these religious fanatics! What they do is not in the name of religion. That's the biggest bunch of BS I've ever heard. And these fanatic psychos need to be wiped off the earth like a plague does!!!
And thank you all for your support after this atrocity. And even more, thank you to all the men and women that stand up every day and defend this great nation and my freedom! I salute you all!!!
Hoist!
Hoist!
