I had just sropped my son off at school and was on my way back home when I
switched the radio from a music station to a Talk station, this was just as
the first reports of the 1sta attack were coming in. When I got home I ran
in to see what the news stations were showing on TV and was just assuming it
was an accident. Fox News Channel was interviewing someone who was saying it
was likely just that and showing a live shot in the background when the 2nd
plane came into view.
The announcer was flabbergasted and the guy he was interviewing didn't seem
to realize what he was saying when se started stammering there was another
one!
All in all This will rank up there with the Challenger Disaster and the day
Reagan was shot in my cannot forget list.
