Where were you 9 years ago today?

Good Thread Freeze.

I remember I was parking my truck at work, listening to the local sports radio, and they had briefly mentioned some accident at the towers, and speculating about how an accident could have occured that way. It was a very important day at work, so I wasn't able to take the time to even look at the news on the PC. And I remember actually getting a little upset with a lady that worked across the aisle from me because all she did all day was blabber on and on about this "accident".
It wasn't until I got home, and was able to turn on the news, that the full impact of it hit me. I shed tears even today thinking about how we humans can do crap like that to each other. It just doesn't register in my brain how anybody can rationalize the taking of human life in such a manner.

Remember how people used to to thank their firefighters and police in the weeks/months/years following this? Wonder how many still do it?
