I actually had arabs in the crew that was working at Pearl River. I just remember the way they looked washed over with fear by the time I left after more details were coming through. I was just now talking to Barch in IM's and something odd came to me. At that time, I felt bad for the guys. I feared for them that they would get hurt or killed. I didn't look at them as arabs, I looked at them as guys who worked for me and I feared for thier lives. By noon, almost all of NYC and the rest of the country wanted to just nuke the whole middle east. I was one of the gung ho kill em all fucks as well. Amazing how much changed from the time I left the site till the time I got home.
My best friend was in Building $ that day, he worked there. The guy didn't get out of the city totaly till 3am. He knocked on my door, rubble in his hair and drunk out of his skull asking for his spare keys. He was an absolute mess in every sense of the word. I actually woke up about ten minutes before he got there. I had fell asleep with CNN on and they just broke the footage of the first plane hitting, the shot from the street and I think I was just numb at that point.
