| + | |||
| + | <html>to remember the horrific events of September 11, 2001,[http://shenmor.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=9592 Car Dealer Cal Worthington Dead At 92 CBS Los Angeles], this Examiner, who was there, will never forget it. | ||
| + | We were there. My husband and I were in New York on September 11, 2001, but it feels like it was yesterday. We flew in from Los Angeles two days before the catastrophic event which, like so many of us, is now emblazoned in my memory forever--every terrible, gut-wrenching detail. Our only consolation today is that Osama Bin Laden is dead! God forgive me, but I prayed for that to happen. | ||
| + | We were staying at the in a suite on the 43rd floor with a dead-on clear view of the Twin Towers from huge picture windows. We checked in the night of September 9th. The next day, September 10 was an absolutely perfect Manhattan day. Warm, but not muggy, and everyone seemed to be going about business as usual. | ||
| + | My husband and I were there on assignments for a couple of magazines. The day before the worst disaster to hit the US happened, couldn't have been more perfect. We met friends and editors for lunch,[http://proje.agun.org/drupal68/nfl-power-rankings-week-2-jaguars-come-first-place NFL power rankings, Week 2- Jaguars come in first], cocktails, dinner, walked all over the city. I enjoyed a fabulous session in a New York spa for a piece I was working on. | ||
| + | We had a wonderful dinner at the Four Seasons with friends and went to bed around midnight. For me it turned into a fitful sleep. I felt anxious. I dreamed of carnage and buildings falling down and told my husband about the nightmare when we woke up about two hours before the first plane hit the tower. | ||
| + | I actually saw the second plane hit and couldn��t believe my eyes. I blinked and thought, ��This can��t be happening.�� The aircraft looked so tiny from our window, like a toy plane someone was flying.�� | ||
| + | The events that ensued were so horrific that I began therapy when we returned to Los Angeles several days later. We watched people diving out of windows, we smelled the burning flesh. We saw the anguish, the fear,[http://www.androidguru.com/familiarize-yourself-linear-layout?page=1758#comment-304612 New iPhone- Apple announces iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S], the shock. It was the wickedest day of everybody's life. | ||
| + | The only good was the calm that overcame the city. People sat in sidewalk cafes speaking quietly. You could walk the streets with no worries. Even muggers, thieves and bottom crawlers felt the pain. | ||
| + | I could write a book, but suffice it say,[http://release-wire.com/is-it-time-to-forgive-owner-of-texas-sign-company-for-decal-of-hog/ Is it time to forgive owner of Texas sign company for decal of hog], the New Yorkers really pulled through and came to each other's aid. We sat with a man at the Four Seasons bar who had lost all his entire staff,[http://www.bransonpowers.com/ Obama blends threat of Syria strike with diplomacy], but one that day. His company was based in the World Trade Center. He was spending the day meeting clients at the hotel. His only surviving employee escaped because while he was having breakfast in the Windows of the World with his work mates, he decided his shirt need ironing and left to take it the cleaners. While he was gone, the tower was hit. Amen. | ||
| + | Our bar mate was so distraught, he cried on my shoulder as I held this complete stranger's hand and we cried and cried along with him. My eyes still tear up when I think about the innocent people who left for work that morning never to return; and the fire fighters and volunteers who died trying to save others. The fruitlessness of it all. | ||
| + | We couldn't fly home. Lucky for us I have a cousin with a summer home in the Hamptons who put us up until planes were operating again. It was good to be with loved ones (he's my favorite cousin) and of course my husband (my best friend) was there, and we ate and drank and went to bars and mingled with all the other people who were drinking trying to forget what just happened. | ||
| + | But of course we never will.</html> | ||
