I was in a board meeting on 9-11, my secretary (am I still allowed to use that term?) came into the room and mentioned that a plane hit the WTC, my first thought was remembering the WWII incident where a bomber plane flew into the Empire State Building in heavy fog. We talked about what a coincidence it was that it happened again 60 years later and then we went back to our meeting.
She returned about an hour later and her face was gray as she told us about the second plane. It probably only lasted a second but it seemed as if my brain froze up, how could it happen twice? Two accidental collisions an hour apart?!?!". I found a news website on the computer in the board room and we saw what happened.
To this day I feel a rage thinking about it. Even a bit of begrudging respect for the sick genius, that evil but brilliant idea that the plane itself was the bomb. It's not fair to armchair quarterback especially with the advantage of hindsight but I feel we went about this wrong, seems it's the saudi's not the Iraqis we should have set our bombsights on.
Sorry for the diversion from the subject of the thread.
