I'm saying I think it is like it is with the generation before us whom remember were they were when J.F.K. was killed we remember were we were when the attacks happened. I was working in a condo and had CNBC on and saw it on that. I called up to our office and told my boss since this was before cellphones so they didn't know what was going on. As it was happening we didn't know how many attacks there were going to be or when the attacks would end.

I'm saying you are exactly right Rob.

When I was in my work meeting an older guy came in and he was talking to someone about a plane hitting a building, no one knew what was happening or where it was, and the guy was just talking like it was an accident of some sorts, not even a big event so our meeting went along as usual. I got out of there around 11 am and headed home as usual not suspecting anything, it was a 45 minute drive and that's when I found out how bad it was while listening to the radio. The world would never be the same after that event.

I’m recalling listening to Howard Stern that Monday morning on my way to work. Thought it was a bit at first, then second plane hit and realized what was happening was real.

Oh wow that would be crazy to hear it live. I didn't hear the Stern show live that day but I did hear them review the events of that day at a later date.

I’m saying this will be helped by the fact that I get Monday off with pay for the Queen’s funeral.

I'm slogging thru a 9 hour training session that started at 5am.

So far haven't learned a thing.
