Amazing that it is 15 years. I haven’t been to the memorial yet, not sure how I will react if I go there. I remember when they had the temporary memorial wall kind of thing, and I kind of stopped reading when it got to about 25 names of people I either knew or knew of (two close coworkers were killed at Windows on the World, attending a financial breakfast). I think the things I remember most about that day were just how beautiful a day it was (when someone said a plane hit the WTC, I said it couldn’t have been an accident), and then later on it was observing how people dealt with it, the panic I saw in many people, but those who handled it with resolve and calm. Afterwards it was just so weird not to have airplanes flying overhead, where i live you see a lot of high flying planes,small planes and so forth.
