Where Were You 10 Years Ago On the Morning Of 9/11???

[Just Sold]

I was doing a volunteer home painting project in Plaistow, NH when my best friend called me and kept saying that "Donnie Ditullio, his brother-in-law, and his girlfriend Janis Lasden were on that plane" until I got him calmed down and he explained what he was talking about. That Donnie was on the 1st plane that had hit the World Trade Center. He had not known which flight Donnie was on he just knew that it was that plane that had hit the World Trade Center. We had the home owner turn on his TV and watched the 2nd plane hit. I spent the rest of that day and the week that followed with my friend and their family and took care of their elderly mother while they delt with the tragedy.
There were more things that happened after flight 11 crashed that were very erie. Like Janis' premonition the night before (told to her neighbor) that the plane would crash to her last will and testiment written the night before and sitting on her computer when my friend arrived at Donnie & Janis' home the night of the crash and there were others.

Donnie's mother and 2 sisters are in NYC for the 10th Anniversary of 9/11.

My nephew was in NYC that day and in order to get out of town with no public transportation running he walked north thru Manhattan to rent a Ford Escape and drive it back to Minneapolis, MN.

One of my coworker's husband called and said a plane hit the WTC tower and wanted to know how a plane could be that far off course (I was an air traffic controller in my prior life.). I told him I couldn't fathom that happening. After the second plane hit the second tower, he came to the store to tell us all what happened and that it wasn't an accident. Not a good day.

I was an administrative assistant for one of our hospitals in the Dallas area. I was completing some paperwork for the director of the psychiatric unit. Walking back to my office I overheard one of the patients on the phone telling a friend a plane had crashed into the WTC. I immediately wondered what medication she was on. It wasn't until I got to my office and called my sister who confirmed what this patient had said. Having been born and raised in New Jersey we had been to the WTC and knew the area quite well. Of course hospitals can't stop work and at the time TVs were only in patient rooms so I kept informed with calls to my sister. I'll never forget her saying, "they're gone, those buildings are gone". A friend of mine in New Jersey said one of the saddest things was to drive by the train stations and see the same cars sitting in the parking lot of the Park and Rides day after day waiting for their drivers who never returned.

I was eating breakfast at the old bay diner that morning on the way to the marina. sat there and watched the second plane hit the tower, on their TV. It was the worst day of our lives.

I was off from work that morning sitting on my bed watching the news trying to fiqure out how a plane could hit the world trade center, just as the second plane hit the WTC. No accident!

After a qucik prayer, I called in to the AT&T Network Operations Center and asked the boss did she need me? I was sent to our disaster recovery center (secret location). As I drove west on RT 78 in New Jersey I could not believe the convoy of emergency vehicles heading in the opposite direction headed for the city and the smoke in my rear view mirrors.

I was at work and was very concerned as I had 4 employees on a Southwest airlines flight from Manchester to BWI. That flight fly's right over NYC which they did just a couple minutes before the first plane hit the twin towers.

There was a lot of confusion that morning in the office as we were also working on a project called the "Twin Towers" just out of D.C. across the river in Arlington, VA and we had a crew of men there. We received a call from my operations manager in DC that the "Twin Towers" had just been hit by an airplane. Needless to say chaos ensued in our office. Unknowingly it wasn't the same building.

It is a day I will never forget, but would like to...

Ten years ago today, I was totally bored out of my mind, with nothing better to do, so I was right here on the www.winnipesaukee.com forum, and absolutely nothing has changed in ten years.......duh! ....hey, when you is a local loser....you remain a local loser....people do not change!


Hey.....say.....hey....live from Flushing Meadows in the Bronx today, this afternoon, and within sight of where the Twin Towers used to stand....today at 4-pm on CBS-tv, Channel 4-Boston, it's the women's finals at the www.usopen.org with Serena Williams (USA-obviously) vs Samantha Stosur (Australia) starting at about 4:15 or something what with the 9-11 ceremonies taking place on the tennis courts.

It should be a great tennis match because Sam Stozur beat Serena last time they played which was at the French Open in Paris, May, 2009!


What will Serena be wearing for this New York City, Sept 11, Ten Year Memorial, major sports event?


What will Samantha be wearing for this New York City, Sept 11, Ten Year Memorial, major sports event?


There's about 23,500 seats at the tennis court. Every seat will be filled seemingly with many New Yorkers since it takes place in Flushing Meadows, Bronx, New York City, site of the 1964 World Fair, and people pay big big bucks to get into this, the biggest U.S. tennis event of the year.....it's the U.S. Open......live from NEW YORK CITY.....in case you missed that piece of info the first time!

I was on the LIRR on my way into NYC for a job interview. We got to the Jamaica train station and we were told the train would be terminating and no trains would be going onto NY/Penn Station. As we got out of the train we could see the black smoke coming from downtown. As I got on the train to come back home the conductor came over the intercom and told us what happened. When I got home I turned the TV and saw the second plane hit. I was glued to that TV for hours. Just could not believe what I was watching!

10 years ago today, I was at my office on Boylston Street in Boston. I remember looking out of my office windows at the Hancock Tower....wondering if a plane was going to crash into it. It was a scary day for me and all Americans.

I had taken the day off to do some chores and projects. I had some ABC talk-show on and they cut-away to the news team a few minutes after 8:46am. They said they had reports that a plane had just hit the North Tower and no other info was available. They were speculating on what kind of plane it could have been when they got camera feed.

I had my head down working on something when one of the anchors gasped and I looked up to see the exit wound opening up from the South Tower. At that moment I recognised the situation was not an accident.
