Default Re: Where Were You?

As a Port Authority employee, it was a regular day as usual. I was at the Path station at Journal Square when we heard about the plane crash, I was on the roof on the parking deck when I watched the second plane hit. I rushed back to my shop at the Holland Tunnel, and I was on my way down West ave, about a 1/2 mile away when WT1 fell.

I was there 12 more hours that day, and worked 12 hour days between ground zero and Staten Island land fill for a year after that. I lost friends and coworkers there.

I will never forget that day and many days that followed.
