It's the 25th anniversary of 9/11. I went down to the break room where I was working because someone told us a plane had hit the world trade center. Watching the smoke rolling off the first building I thought "what idiot flies a plane into a sky scraper?" And right after that the second plane hit. We saw it live when it happened. I never really understood the term "my blood ran cold". Twenty five years later and I still remember that feeling like it was branded into my brain. There have been many atrocities in history and now, this is just the one I witnessed.

I was playing Quake 3. The phone rang and it was an acquaintance talking about it. At first I didn't understand or think she was right or that it could be as big of a deal. I don't even remember for sure but I think I saw the second plane hit live. All of that is a blur, but it's pretty much all anyone could think about for like 6 months after.
