I Will Never Forget!

I was working afternoon shift so I was able to watch the coverage as things unfolded. I was working downtown in a large city. When I went to work, I was turned back since the authorities had shut down everything in order to keep a large amount of people out of a concentrated area.

Right up there with seeing the towers fall, a spine tingling event happened the next day. I still smoked then, and was outside taking a smoke break. Yes, it was weird since the location was right on the flight path into the airport and there was not a string of incoming and outgoing jets.

But the silence was broken in a big way. A formation of 3 F18s flew over as they were patrolling the area. I immediately knew that life had changed.
