I was standing about a mile away watching it happen first hand.

It was a beautiful day too. Sunny, warm. It looked like a Michael Bay film in real life. Kinda surreal.

Where I was standing was between to the Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge so I remember seeing all the people that worked in the World Trade area running home. People in business suits sprinting like Ben Johnson... sweating... scared for their lives.

I also remember a huge calm sweeping over the city. Later that day and for several months after we were all pretty unified and fairly reserved. People outside of the city were taking it much harder than we were.

I think everyone inside of NY had a feeling of, "I can't believe they did that to us. Damn. I thought we were untouchable." It wasn't really about terrorism for us as much as the shock of losing the people and the buildings. The buildings and the area affected meant a lot to most of us in the city because it was such an important part of life for a lot of us. I can only compare it to the feeling of losing an arm.

People in other parts of the country were all gung ho, "lets find these bastards and kill them!" and others were worried about terrorist threats. Not us. What's funny is we weren't thinking the same way and WE were the ones directly affected.
