I was at work. As he was leaving for Court one of my attorneys casually mentioned the first plane hitting. I called my Mom who filled me in on the rest of the story. We may have been on the phone when the second plane hit. (I don't remember and it isn't important now.) Mom was scared for my cousin - last we heard his office was in WTC. She was afraid to call her brother to check so I did. Was told he was OK - the bank he works for moved their offices over to Park Avenue a few years before. Originally located in one of the towers at the time of the bombing, whichever one was above the garage where the bomb went off, they relocated because of the bombing.
I remember what went through my mind after I got off the phone with my Mom - I thought about Waco, Columbine and Oklahoma City and thinking that, once again, the world would never be the same.
