I was stationed in AZ at the time and we were quick in meetings for preparation and the trip back to SW Asia. Would change our lives forever...

I remember it like it was yesterday, and I can still smell the massive burning piles of rubble in my mind. It hovered over lower manhattan for ages. I still work right across the street and often walk over to the memorial fountains and touch the names of those I once knew. A perspective check when you're having a shitty day.

Thank you for this thread. The world suddenly became unsafe for me on that day.

I was working at the World Financial Center (just across the West Side Highway) at the time, and happened to have that day off. I was living in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn across the river and could see and smell it from the dock down the street. I have PTSD and will never be able to go back to NYC, not even for a visit.

I'll Never forget! I was an airline pilot then. Got in about midnight the night before so wasn't in the air that morning. A lot of my friends were. Sad, sad day.

I'll never forget the friends and former co-workers lost in the Pentagon. And I'll never stop thanking God my wife, who was in the Pentagon, survived.
