Bob,

My ISP was knocked out temporarily. I'm about 2 miles from ground zero. I didn't hear it. I didn't have my radio on, I hadn't connected to the Internet, etc. I didn't know what had happened. I went down to the street about noon. All the shops were closed. There was no traffic. People were streaming up the avenues on foot. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Finally I ran into someone I knew. "The World Trade Towers. . . are gone," she explained.

Of course I didn't believe it, until I looked down Fifth Avenue toward the tip of Manhattan where the towers stood, and all I saw was a huge #0000ff cloud, and I knew with certainty something terrible had happened. It was like a scene from a SciFi horror film, except no one was running, no one was screaming. They were just walking away from an immense tragedy on a beautiful, clear late summer day.

Peace,

Flash
