For myself, it caused a real bad time in my life.
I was sleeping in, my then still alive dad woke me and said turn on the TV, that America was under attack. I watched all day, seen the 2nd plane hit the 2nd tower, then watched them both fall. The days to follow, the rescues and attemps, fires of surrounding buildings, GWB ground zero visit and news coverage for months afterward.
My wife was visiting her family in California. See was scheduled to come home the next day, of coarse that did not happen when all planes were ordered grounded.
It took her almost an additional 3 months to get home from a 2 week visit because of all the delayed, canceled and what ever flights that few days caused. And the air lines would not honor the deal on her ticket until all flights were caught up. (Profitizing from disaster?)
I was never so glad to see my wife when she finally got home. I don't think I have ever missed her so much in my life. Even though we had only been married just over a year. My life wasn't the same without her.
Had no ambition to go to work, felt like I had a great big hole in my middle all the time. Nearly lost my job due to absences and lack of performance.
I didn't know any of the fallen victums in the planes, buildings or the rescue personel that fell that day. Or any of the thousands of injured, personally. So my heart goes out to the ones that were lost, and especially for those left alone because of it.
When I heard that Bin Loden finally got caught up with, I was disapointed that he was not taken alive. So much did I want him to be returned to the US and stand trial, and hung, shot, electrified, lethal injected, put in the middle times square and stoned to death (lastest would have been my favorite).
Plans for 911 are simple. Spend the day by my wifes side, show her love and effection, help her with her chores, and just appreciate what we have...together.
Glad for what we have, because we could be a lot worse off. She is very religious and has a table set up in our bedroom for prayer, so I will sit with her and pray with her for soals lost, and the ones left to morn for them.
If anyone "here" was touched in a more personal way, my heart and prayers goes out to you. It's and event that should not be forgotten, just as those that lost life, loved one or served to rescue.
