I was working in the airline industry when this happened. My girlfriend (now wife) and I had just started on the way into work, we signaled each other over to the side of the road, and talked for a few moments... and I headed in to work. I was in shock for weeks. I was ontop of the towers but 2 months before that, and possibly one of the best pictures of the two of us was taken there. ... I've been there. I know that place. I have roots in that city. But I wasn't surprised as many Americans were. I knew this was very possible, though most of the scenarios I'd heard were far more grizzly than what happened. (Involving nuclear material and small planes.) I always thought the Iraq war was a pile of shit, as were most of the actions taken quickly after that day. Taking off our shoes, and the TSA are an awful legacy of an awful day. The terrorists did win. They encouraged us to give away our freedoms for safety theater. So we did. This site is proof... they won.
