And while I was at work that morning and no where near NYC, still lived in Harrisburg then, I can still remember everything unfolding so vividly like it was yesterday. Our store never even opened that day, because I think we were all is such shock a plane hit, but never thought the building would come down, let alone. a second plane...and then the towers did collapse, and then the pentagon and then Flight 93, which for a time, we didn't know what it was going to hit, then went down..it was a lot.Mistress Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098940220513091207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-63135526659533579782021-09-13T10:40:15.808-04:002021-09-13T10:40:15.808-04:00I have long said the same thing.

When I opened my door to the street and looked south I could see the left side of Lady Liberty, looking to the east. Who could imagine I'd have an apartment where I could actually see the statue from my front window?!<br /><br />When I stepped out on the side walk and turned left the Twin Towers were right in front of me, across the river. Before it happened I would walk the 3 blocks to the river and tell myself I had the best view of Manhattan that anyone in Manhattan could wish for. Oh, the way it looked at night! <br /><br />And then it was gone. <br /><br />I think of the handsome guy who was on the Path train from WTC at rush hour one afternoon who was sitting and using his stylus to play a game on his phone while I stood next to him and watched. And the others on the same train who one day maybe wouldn't make it home one day in September. <br /><br />BrianBBrianBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971543273687192896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-52861996379120089912021-09-11T19:05:24.646-04:002021-09-11T19:05:24.646-04:00Great photo, very powerful
