Date: 2012-09-11 03:50 pm (UTC)9/ll - that's about where I came in. I walked into the main office (at school) in time to see the second plan fly into the buildings. My daughter was in college only a mile or so away (as the crow flies across the water) and one son was working in/near the Pentagon. Nervous morning until they had both managed to check in with somebody and let me know they were okay...

I had my friends 2 young-teens staying with me. It was hard to talk things through with them, to make sure that they knew what was happening - for them, the first international event to cross their path.

Date: 2012-09-11 06:48 pm (UTC)We had our building on lockdown and parents had to show ID to pick their kids up - which they did all day long, wanting to be in the safety of their homes when they explained to their children what had happened. How do you explain the inexplicable?

Date: 2012-09-11 07:13 pm (UTC)We live with the evidense of bombing here in all our cities - but the shock of seeing New York like that was terrible. I had seen the city from The Staten Island Ferry - and to see that image of the smouldering city was horrific.

Date: 2012-09-11 06:26 pm (UTC)17. Comet or Soft Scrub? Guess this is too American. Comet is a powdered cleaner while Soft Scrub a thick liquid cleanser. They are used to clean sinks, tubs and counters.
I was at work on 9/11. One of our district managers came in and told us a plane hit one of the Twin Towers. We heard more as it went on that day. My brother worked at an Airport in KS. I called him and he was off that day. He made fun of me for worrying about him. Yeah, not a great relationship there.
Our country was really in a panic. We had the idea we were apart from such things. We lived in a bubble. I'm proud of the men and women who ran into those buildings to try to help. They were real heroes. The plane that was aiming for the Pentagon also had amazing people on it. They were very brave and unselfish.

Date: 2012-09-11 07:11 pm (UTC)Thanks - that makes sense. I use liquid cleaner, or spray. The pwder is very un-popular over here now. It used to be the #1 choice.
I would imagine your 9/11 was very hard - *hugs* - Even if your brother didn't seem to think so!

There were a lot of heros that day. We live with the evidense of bombing here in all our cities - but the shock of seeing New York like that was terrible. I had seen the city from The Staten Island Ferry - and to see that image of the smouldering city was horrific.
