The song's about halfway down that page.

Just finished listening to it.
It's a great song.

I was asleep in Berkeley, CA. The phone rang, it was my friend Christine. "Are you aware of events in the world?" -- was exactly what she said. "No, what do you mean?" -- was exactly what I said. "The World Trade Center is gone..." -- was exactly what she said. I went over to the television, and then I must have watched the image of a plane flying into a building 1,000 times before I took a break.

In June of 2004, I finally made it over there and took this picture -- http://profitlabinc.com/NEWS/FOTOS/T...-His-Legs.html

I was in the middle of a 20 mile hike to the field for a week long training event(Marine Corps). We were pulled out of the field in the middle of the night and put on standby to go to war. 6 months later my unit was in Iraq.

I was working for Red Hat software at the time. We were at a huge trade show in Atlanta at the time, at the convention center in the CNN headquarters building. Several people that worked for us, were in New York at the time, for business at the WTC. We were gearing up for a good trade show and had actually scored a booth right accross from microsoft;)

One of the guys I worked with was a marine in the reservers.. he was actually one of the main characters depicted in the movie Blackhawk Down. Before we even heard news of the planes hitting (we were busy prepping everyone and our booth, etc), and he got a call. We didnt have a TV or anything there, and thats how we found out. He was shipped out to Afganistan that day. Red Hat called a bus for us to bring us back to Raleigh. It was the weirdest vibe walking around downtown Atlanta after that happened. Downtown was crowded with people as usual, but they were just all in shock.

We were kinda worried because we were at CNN headquarters wich is really a major communications hub for the country. We all kinda had it in the back of our minds that this probably wasnt the best place to be..

I went to ground zero last year when I was in New York. My parents offered to take me on previous visits home but I didn't think I could take it. It was still very moving even at the time I did it. Also it was odd because I had seen the area, the church, etc so many times on that day and since if almost felt like I was walking into a news report.

I was asleep. My son called from college about it and I turned on the TV and told him I was on my way to SC to pick him up. Called my parents - my Dad was on his way to downtown ATL, heard about it on the radio, and turned back around figuring if they were going to hit big cities, ATL would be one of them.

My Mom finally convinced me my son was safe in rural SC :winkwink: then my family started calling me asking if worse came to worse, could they come up here since my town has own phone system, electric company, water supply etc. :upsidedow

However, Jimmy Carter has a house in my neighborhood. I don't think he was here but one of his relatives must have been because secret service was swarming all over the place for about 2 weeks. Lots of military planes flying around too.

Talking to friends who lived in NYC said the weirdest thing was walking around because you always used WTC as your "guide" for where you were and what direction you were heading in.

Sad and scary day.

Sep 11 is my birthday, my parents forgot about my birthday, guess it was selfish of me to be angry about it but whatever, i went to school found out about the attack, listened to all the fucking jokesters bitch and cry about what happened just sothey could leave early.

I was on I-95 driving to my office listening to Howard Stern.

At first I thought it was all a joke on his show, until my cell phone started ringing off the hook.

When I got to the office everybody was in the conference room glued to the TV and pretty much freaked out especially when we watched the 2nd plane hit live.
