As a country, we were all pretty much like, "nobody comes on our soil and messes with us." The whole country was united under the same feelings of anger and pride, and it was something to see. Very true. We are so far from that right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 I did not work for them at the time, but the company I am employed by now lost 67 employees on 09/11. Sobering and makes me even more thankful for the people who risk their lives every day to make sure we are safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 One thing I think about this time of year is people having to make the choice to burn or jump from 85+ stories. The terror they must have felt is unfathomable. And it makes me mad they were forced to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Was at my desk getting ready for a flight, when my vendor called and asked me what I was going to do? Being clueless at the moment I’m like what do you mean? He said you need to turn on a TV! There was only one tv in the plant that received regular tv, needless to say I was not the first one there watching the second tower hit! Horrible!! And as 5fouls stated watching the the towers collapse was, I have no words! Still, life goes on. Was on a flight the first day FAA allowed planes in the air. On a plane that seats a couple hundred I was one of about half dozen paying passengers, the rest were flight crews trying to get home! Surreal! One year later I’m back visiting the same vendor in Minneapolis, my CAD designer is with me and we decide, in spite of the warnings that it may be a prime target for terrorists, we went to the Mall of America. Surreal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Sorry for being verbose, but two years after the company brings in a speaker to talk about how to retain your best workers. He talks about a group that made it out of the Tower’s before the collapse! Asked the manager why in spite of directives to stay in place, he chose to lead his team out? He said after his divorce “when in doubt get out “ Knowing that he would not go very far with that, he asked the team that followed him, why. That is another story!
