I was laid off at the time so I watched this happen live on TV. Later I delivered meals-on-wheels while listening on the radio and discussing with all the folks I was taking meals to that day. So surreal. I remember thinking it was a terrible accident until the other tower was hit, then total disbelief that they fell.

Then a month later I went to work in a quarter-scale (I think) replica of one of the twin towers (BOK Tower, Tulsa, OK) and one of our clients was almost completely wiped out on 9/11. The few remaining employees were trying to rebuild the company and we were trying to help them by hosting the little thing we had sold them. All of their backups were also in the tower. Really sad.
