24 years ago…

Was just watching THIS…

There is so much 9/11 content on YouTube now; found footage, extensive engineering analysis about why the buildings fell, computer generated animations about what took place, tragic audio tapes…

I was on a business trip, sitting in a hotel room in Ohio, on the phone with my Dad, who worked at the Salem II nuclear power plant in New Jersey. We were both watching the TV when the 2nd plane hit.

I had Dad’s work phone number, a landline… he didn’t have a cell phone yet!

Dad got off the phone right away, because when the 2nd plane hit he realized the power plant might also be a target… imagine a jetliner crashing into the radioactive core of a nuclear power plant.

When that 2nd plane hit we all realized that something diabolical was unfolding, in front of us, in real time. Something intentional, tragic and murderous.

The deaths of innocent people, just like us.

This clip above is especially upsetting, those civilians on that plane probably saved many lives by preventing a crash into a larger target, like the Capitol building.

Where were you on September 11, 2001?
