My wife yelled up the stairs for me to get out of bed. I remember the tone in her voice and I flew down the stairs to where she stood in front of the TV. I saw the second plane hit live on CNN.
I had the day off work and sat glued to the TV all day. At times it all seemed so surreal and impossible to wrap my head around. I remember one network had footage of the sound of jumpers hitting a glass structure at the base of one of the towers before it fell. It was just sickening.
I remember all the helicopter shots as they circled the towers billowing smoke. The horrifying moment the first tower collapsed...then the second a short time later. Impossible to comprehend.
