I was 1300 miles from my home, at the time wife, and 2 dogs. I was sitting in an office with a radio playing in the background and they announced one of the towers was hit by an airplane. I thought how in the world could a commercial airplane get off track and hit the WTC? I fly all the time and this was unsettling. When the 2nd tower was hit, it was obvious what was happening. At lunch that day, the whole restaraunt was in a daze, glued to the TV. My flight home was cancelled and I ended up driving the whole way back home.

I will never forget all lives lost, destruction and fear from that week. Still it feels like it happened yesterday. No music in the world calmed me.
