Sometimes the simplest answer is correct. Sometimes not.

Where were you on 9/11/2001?

September 11th, 2004 · No Comments

It was a sunny, cool day, typical of autumn in Philadelphia. The sky was brilliant blue. I was on my way to work, as a Finance Manager at Saturn of Philadelphia. I was driving to work, listening to Howard Stern, as I always did. Howard was talking about an encounter that he had with Pamela (Lee - then, I think) Anderson. The crew was chiding him for not having closed the deal. I heard the news of the plane striking the WTC, and Howard and Robin thought it was a small commuter plane, and returned to the show.

Somewhere between there and my getting to work, the second plane struck. Howard immediately stated that "we know who’s behind this", and for the next three hours, until almost 12 noon, I alternated between surfing the web, looking for news, listening to the local news station, and listening to Howard. If you don’t like Howard, you should listen to that day, as it is the best radio ever.

The two sites I checked the majority of that day were FARK (original thread) and Metafilter (original thread).
