What a horrible day. I remember one of the freakiest things about that day for me was hearing that office paper from the towers was falling in my neighborhood … 30 MILES AWAY in New Jersey.

You helped me jog my memory... I was living in that apt. on Chestnut Street, within view of the GG Bridge. Once reports spread that our "national icons" were targets, I was sad for NY--and scared for SF. Go to work by driving over the Bay Bridge, or stay at home, close to the Golden Gate Bridge? Good thing I had you and Lori around to help cope that weekend... Very well said. You helped me jog my memory…

It's kind of spooky how well I can remember that exact day. Everything from the start of my day - my Dad waking me up to call and tell me to turn on CNN - to the end, praying at night for all of the people who were directly affected. And as I go through all of the details of that day, I mostly remember feeling so very sad. Every 9/11 since that day in 2001, I take a little time to remember how that day was for me, too.

It's fascinating to know where people were. I was on the West Coast, too, at the time (I'd never even been to NYC six years ago!), so I can totally relate how surreal and yet, somehow, immediate 9/11 felt--even from across the country.

One of your best posts ever. I had co-workers at the time in DC on business...took forever to find out that they were OK and fortunately they were. Also trapped there with no outgoing flights, etc. As they said, "small price to pay" compared to the bigger picture. Thanks. One of your best posts ever.
