Maynard -
From what I understand, they were working 3 shifts, 24/7... when they said it would take until late this year to clean up, they were figuring on a snowy winter and very wet spring... the extremely mild winter assisted greatly on the cleanup.
They are also working triple shifts trying to get the Pentagon ready for 9/11/2002... but they're saying it won't make it.
Some things I realized about the attacks...
1) The Giants saved a lot of lives. If the Giants hadn't played Monday Night Football on 9/10, a lot of people would have gone into work *on time* and been caught in the disaster, including my brother's best friend. A *LOT* of people watched the crashes from the ferries as they crossed over.
2) The thing that sucked the most is that my parents and brother were traveling at the time, and I was alone for most of the week, drinking, and watching Fox News. I was scared, I hated that feeling.
One of my best friends' weddings was the weekend after 9/11. Because of all the cops protecting the bridges, I literally set a speed record from DC to Central Jersey - 3 hrs, 11 mins.
