Reply #4: I was on my way to work and

[Broken_Hero]

I had to drive my brother to church really early, and go to work. When I dropped him off around 5:15am, I turned the radio on, and the radio personality was talking about a Tom Clancy Novel Debt of Honor. Now, I'm a T. Clancy fan, and I know at the end, an incident happens where a jet liner crashes into a political building...so, I just assumed they were talking about the book...but in truth, they were talking about the first plane hitting, and drawing parrellels from the T. Clancy novel.

I get to work, I startrd coffee, biscuits/gravy, and sausage sandwiches, and when the coffee was done I turned the tv on, and the channel it was left on was CNN. I went back to my counter to continue making sausage sammiches, and I heard the anchor say "A plane has hit the WTC." I was like, WTF???? Stopped making breakfast, and I sat there watching tv, and then the second plane hit....

At this time, the Cold Storage guys were all ready milling outside, and I am not supposed to let them in until 6am, but with what was going on, I let them all in, and directed them to the tv....silence for quite some time, but with a few F bombs thrown around....

Everyone, including myself was shell shocked most of the day, a lot of anger, a lot of phone calls, because a good handful of the cold storage workers were from New York, and all of them went home to NYC, the next day....we had about 15 guys/gals who were from NYC...

After work, I noticed gas was up past 8 bucks a gallon, and the streets were rather...bare of traffic. I came home and watched the news 24/7
