Quote:I think we're agreeing on the same thing...just in a screwy way. I meant to say that you shouldn't feel bad for someone who was closer to it. It fucked all of up the same, whether you were on Church street or in Michigan
:lookatme: I'm from Michigan. I'll tell you, first thing that happened is I convinced our General Manager to close our store and send the employees home. The main two reasons behind that is that a lot of us have friends/family that worked in those buildings and the fact that we are about a mile from an International Airport (Gerald R Ford International). A few of us hung around and glued ourselves to the T.V. watching in horror as things came about. It is a day that will live in my memory forever and definately changed me. It made me realize that life was way too short and that any one of can go at any time.
I was lucky enough to not lose anyone, unfortunately I cannot say the same for one of my friends as he lost his older brother in Tower 2.
