I was actually running an excavator digging out a foundation. The jobsite super came over and said "You guys need to turn on the radio...a plane just hit some building in NYC."
We laughed about it for a few minutes thinking that it had been just a small plane or some crazy accident. We turned the radio on in my truck about 5 minutes before the second plane hit. At that point, me and my grading guy just kind of looked at each other. I think I said something like, "what the fuck is going on here man?"
We didn't do much work the rest of the day. I took off about 12 and went home and watched CNN the rest of the day.
The creepiest thing that day was not seeing any vapor trails in the sky from airplanes. First time in my life I had ever seen that being so close to a major airport and naval and army bases.
Sky was crystal clear that day too. Hardly a cloud in the sky in Norfolk.
