In an hour, it will be September 11th
I went to high school with a man named Christopher M. Morrison. He became a senior vice president at Zurich Scudder Investments.

Chris was attending a conference on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center in New York City when the building was attacked by terrorists on Sept. 11. He was 34.

He left a wife, his parents, and two sisters.

A family friend is a retired airline pilot. For several years, he flew the Flight 11 rout out of Logan International Airport in Boston. he retired just a few months before 9/11.


For some folks, 9/11 is a chance to bloviate about their superior patriotism. For others, it's a time to rant about conspiracy theories. I hope that everyone can set this sort of thing aside for a day and remember the thousands of people whose lives were touched on that morning eight years ago.

2. I totally agree.

When it happened I was over a 1000 miles away but it felt as if I was
there.A terrible shock.After that it took me several days to be able
to close my eyes without seeing those damn planes hitting the buildings
again and again.For the people who were there,who lost loved ones
it must have been horrible beyond imagination.And still is.
