I remember being woken up by my mother with a phone call that the WTC had been hit by a plane. Being a New York native i kinda just shoved it off, asked if we knew anyone on the plane "no", and went back to bed. Then i got woken up again by my roommate, so i filed out of bed flipped on the tv, and there it was, burning building number one. i called my dad who owns the entire neighborhood of buildings across the river in downtown brooklyn if he was watching this, and he told me to come down to watch it with the news crews he'd already rented the building rooftops to. it's like a 15 minute trek, so the lazy bastard that i am, i told him thanks anyway but i didnt really care. keep in mind i still thought this was just some drunken pilot who was probably getting blowing by the stewardess and didnt realize how low he had been flying..etc etc. anyhow, i think it was 9-10 minutes later the second one hit, and i was actually in the middle of watching the news and writing an angry letter to a sponsor, when i saw what happened. right then and there, i knew it was a terrorist attack. i didnt need the media's bullshit questions on the matter, i knew it was a damn terrorist attack. then i was on the phone with my mother while she put our conversation on her firm's intercom, (which is a big thing, she told me no swearing before i got on, shes not too proud of having an internet porn son either) because they couldnt get local channels, and then the first tower came down. i swore like ive never sworn before. i went into a rage, like, who the fuck do these people think they are, come to nyc and take down our buildings, fuck them, kill em all.. yeah, then the second one came down, followed by people in her firm cursing up a storm, then mom telling everyone they could go home.. and that was the end of that. glued to the tv for 2 days, and glued to my websites' stat pages and watch people cancel like mad..
