I went back to the CEO's office between patients because the had a TV on, just in time to see the secind tower collapse. I was astounded that so many of my patients that day were aware of what was happeneing, but didn't really talk about it. I didn't see how we could be talking about anything else. I think I was just in a daze through that day. I was at work at a comunity mental health center.

I posted about 9/11 as well . . . a little bit of "where were you" but more about the lingering aftermath. Check it out if you're interested. Back on the "where were you" topic, my friend and his wife were in the delivery room at a hospital in Atlanta while everything was unfolding. Can you imagine? It's like, "Hey, where'd everybody go? Doc? Nurse? Baby coming . . . helloooo? Anybody there?!?" .-= mike´s last blog ..<a href="http://mistymorningfog.wordpress.com/2009/09/14/911-eight-years-later/" rel="nofollow">9/11 . . . eight years later</a> =-.

There are so many facets to this that I don't cover. Sometimes I think I could write a book on the heart strings alone. Thanks for asking!

I had very little idea what was happening. Lucky for me because my mom was in the building, second tower hit, 88th floor. She barely escaped. 66 of her colleagues died.

I received a phone call and was told to turn on the news, that a plane had flown into the WTC. I grabbed the remote from the person who was watching Clifford the big red dog and turned on the news, just in time to watch the other plane slam into the other building. My partner and I told the RNs that we needed to go because of what we had just witnessed, we were getting messages from our dispatcher that we needed to move and move fast. We got to our ambulance and started into the city via the LIE and traffic was at a standstill. People were barely tring to get out of the way so it was very frustrating. We finally got to a point on the LIE that the NYPD had opened a lane of traffic just for emergency vehicles and we made some good time getting to the midtown tuunnel. As we approached the tunnel, I looked to the south and watched as the the first tower started to ocrumle and fall, I was amazed at what I was seeing and shocked at what it meant. We made it through the tunnel and started downtown hoping that we wouuld be arriving and able to help someone, anyone because that is what we do. We arrived downtown about ten blocks from the WTC site and became engulfed in the cloud of dust and smoke and noise of the other tower falling. It is a day that I will never forget, a day that will always haunt me. I have several good friends that lost their lives that day, I will never forget them and I will always miss them. As you say this is our time in history that we will always have. I hope as well that our children don't have a moment in history like ours. God Bless and be safe everyone.
