Where were you?

Eight years ago at this very moment, I was in SLC for recurrent. I never watch TV in the morning. I never even turn it on. But that morning, for some reason, I had CNN on the TV.

I got out of the shower and heard, "..N special report...a small twin-engine plane has hit the World Trade Center." I looked and thought dang, that's a BIG hole for a Seneca!

A minute or two later I spotted another plane flying low over the Hudson. Initially, I was angry. As an airline pilot, you don't sightsee tragedy with passengers on board. Period.

Then it turned.

Then it hit.

Then the world changed forever. 2985.
