Quote:I had fell asleep with CNN on and they just broke the footage of the first plane hitting, the shot from the street and I think I was just numb at that point.
I had a similar feeling when CNN aired for the first time around 1 in the morning footage taken by someone in Battery Park. Some guy filming the first tower fire and you could hear the second plane comming in. The guy raised his camera just as the plane came overhead tilted left and crashed into tower two. You heard all the people scream and actually heard the jet rev full throttle when it went in. I think I just sat there for a good 15 minutes or so thinking through what I just watched and wanting so badly to join my old ranger unit and go execute somebody with a towel on their head and a beard.
