Quote:i could not even imagine actually seeing it happen, or to be like BM and actually be there.I hate to sound like a dick, but fuck that. We all watched it, we all experienced it. What I can't imagine is what is was like for the people in the buildings. My roommate's ex (who died that day...still no sign of her body) worked at Cantor Fitzgerald. Her office was a few floors above where the first plane hit. The best they can figure is that when the plane hit, it took out all the elevator shafts and all the stairwells, which were located at the center of the buiding. She (and a bunch more people) were trapped on the upper floors. Then they got to see the second plane hit, but couldn't do anything about it. I can't even image what I would do if I were in her place. Being trapped there, feeling the building start to shake as it begins to fall.
I'm also reminded of what a firefighter said when he saw people jumping. "How bad must it have been that your two options where to stay in the building or jump and people chose to jump?"
That's the shit that scares me.
--Edit--
I just realized that I am posting a lot in this thread. And long posts too, which is kind of out of character for me. Sorry if it's getting annoying, I guess just talking about it helps. I don't realize how much that day screwed me up until I start to talk about it.

Your pocket Bible will stop an assailant's bullet, but not before it passes through four innocent bystanders, a school-bus gas tank, and your genitals.
