I lost my mom on 9/11/2001.

I saw the towers go down in real time on the hospital tv as I sat at
her bedside and watched ma pass away. We are originally from New Yawk
City so, believe me, it was an experience that was horrible beyond
belief to me.

On the up side, it still is incredible to me that so few folks died
in that particular nightmare. Before I left NY I once made an upper
story delivery at the WTC on an overcast day. Down below it was a
grey day, but up top the sun was shining bright and I could see the
tops of various NYC skyscrapers sticking up above the clouds.
Surreal don't begin to describe it.

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry about your mom. I lost my mom two years ago and I will never
fully get over it.
Unfortunately I also lost a cousin in The Twin Towers. (RIP Amy!).I
also was watching as it happened live (On TV). I was home sick that
day and just watched and watched all day. I live 60 miles from the
city. A few days later I was going over the Throggs Neck Bridge and
could still see the smoke rising where I used to be able to see the
Towers. What a strange feeling.
I agree with you about the number of people. I expected it to be at
least 10,000+. We were so lucky that they did not wait until 9AM...in
fact with all the planning they did, they really screwed up that minor
detail...lucky for all those people.
