i was on the way to work that morning and i was running a little late. I worked in weehawken nj, right outside of the city between the lincoln and holland tunnels at the time. I had a view of the whole city from my desk.
I was WELL within visible sight of the twin towers from where i was sitting in pretty heavy traffic on rt 78. It wasn't one of those things you noticed anymore though since i saw it every day commuting. same with the statue of liberty that i passed every day. I didn't even look up and see the giant trail of smoke from the fire until it was mentioned on howard stern that i was listening to. I called in to a friend at work and asked what she could see, and right as i was talking to her, the second plane hit and we both watched it happen with our own eyes. I could hear people screaming and crying at work since almost everyone was apparently looking out the windows. I will never forget that day. There's a lot more details to the story i could share, but I just don't feel like typing it, and it's bringing back some memories thinking about it.
