God I remember sitting up in bed and my Wife always has the TV on. I remember seeing the fire and a local firefighter saying how bad this was. I, knowing nothing, thought it wasn't that bad. I was getting ready for work and putting my boots on and the second plane hit. I remember being stunned and confused. I said screw work this is something entirely catastrophic. I remember the building falling and I said something like WTF? I remember being instantly furious , sad, horrified and helpless. What a horrible day in our lives. It seemed as though that day would never end. 2,987 people died that day. The first firefighter to die that day was killed by a falling body. The horror stories are endless. I thank God everyday that I live and I am able to see my children grow. Life is so fragile
