I worked at Verio at the time in Philadelphia Pa and was driving to the office in my truck.... usually I listened to the Local news radio for traffic when the 1st plane hit ... It seemed odd since it was really clear out and then I thought, welll, it could be raining and there was a plane that hit the Empire state building in 1947 I'd read a book about .....

Then the 2nd plane hit .... I knew in my soul something was deeplky wrong.

I get to the office, head into our Conference room where we had a giant TV set up and there is my team watching a live feed on CNN of the tower dropping...12 people in silence and some women starting to cry.

The office looked over Willow Grove Naval Air station where there was an air show the weekend before and a SHITLOAD of fighter planes of all kinds just parked there. Looked at my boss and said that I am getting the fuck outta here in case its an attack of some kind, I dont want to be across from the base.

Driving home like mad and then the pentagon and Flight 93 hit in PA.

Now, im fucking freaked out since im on the road and around this area ( Plymouth Meeting PA ) there are a few airfields .... I get home and my wife is here and then we just watched all day as to what went down.

later that afternoon I had an appointment at the local mall with the chick that usually cuts my hair...we went there anyway and there was NO ONE in the mall ... She gave me the cut and we all broke out.

my mother was beside herself since I had at the time travelled to NYC + Wash DC .. She couldnt reach my cell since the all the phone lines were all buzy and the cell was out ..... That night I was able to reach her to tell her that I was home the whole time ... She told me that she spent the day crying and praying that I was not in NYC that day.

I was in the Towers only 20 days earlier on business .....

a VERY good friend of mine was to be on the flight from Logan that DID hit the towers ... he told me that he took the plane often for business over the years and that day had a feeling overcome him to NOT get on that plane. Even though it was a sold out flight there was almost no one on board.

He skipped the flight and to this day is in Therpay to deal with being that close to death.
