I was working in midtown NYC on that day. After the second plane struck, we realized this was a significant event. We left our office to go home to NJ and walked to Penn Station. The station was closed and we stood outside for an hour or so, watching fighter jets zipping by overhead, using our cell phones to mostly no avail to call family.
Penn Station re-opened about 1PM after the facility and tunnels were deemed safe. The train conductor said we were on the first train out of the station. I swallowed hard.
We made it home safely and without incident. Nobody said a word for 45 minutes.
Never forget...
