I remember that day vividly. It was a Tuesday and was getting ready for jury duty :). In the middle of preparing breakfast, I tuned the TV to CNBC and noticed they were talking about the towers. The show was nothing about the stock market. At first, I thought they were talking about a new movie release with impressive special effects...but then, 15 seconds into the coverage realized that this was real...My jaw dropped to the ground. I could not believe what my eyes were seeing. Of course, jury duty was canceled... I called family members and them my cousin who had just moved to NYC, working for an investment bank near the towers...no answer on the phone. Everyone was trying to get a hold of him. Still no answer (no emails, no cell, nothing). But thankfully, he called and said that he was OK...for some reason, he ended up planning to go to work later that day and on his way to the City, was detoured.
That day, I realized that two oceans were no longer enough to "shelter" America from those who wish it harm...The world had gotten smaller and more easily accessible.
