I can't take credit for it - although I wished I could. This was my Dad who forwarded it onto my email; I think some of these things need to be said.Originally Posted by Scott Campbell
I remember being a senior at UW on 9/11/01 and waking up to the first tower being struck and being dumbstruck. I then went to class (with a bunch of kids from NY in bschool) and we just talked about it the whole time - got back as the second tower collapsed and saw the Pentagon and the plane down in PN - very vivid memories.
I got up early Cali time today and rewatched CNN's 'Pipeline' coverage (realtime 9/11/01 coverage) and I'm amazed how correct many reporters were (citing Osama and Taliban within one hour; having a news reporter in Kabul; discussing overtaking flight 93).
24 hour news may be annoying and sometimes slanted but it sure as hell knew what was going on that day really quickly.
My thoughts still go out to the families/friends directly affected by those attacks 5 years ago - if it hits any closer for me I'm making a switch to intel for the gov't.
Let's never forget that day and God Bless the USA.
