9/11

Now a lot of people will say, “Where were you when they walked on the moon or when Kennedy died?” and I don’t know or remember.

But I remember exactly where I was on 9/11.

I was working in Facilities and they had a little TV turned on to the news in another room (I don’t remember why) and none of us was paying attention until somebody (I think it was Ali), screamed, “Oh my God.”

So we all rushed in and saw a repeat of the plane crashing into the first tower. We all thought it was a stupid pilot who screwed up. But then the next plane crashed into the second tower.

We watched in horror as the other plane went down in Pennsylvania and the last one crashed into the Pentagon

That’s when the world changed and I racked up my shotgun. I ain’t saying I’ll take all of them with me, but I will damn sure take a few of them with me.
