Any New Yorkers on this thread? My brother had several sales accounts with several Japanese banks in the Towers. He knew several people that didn't make it. He'd also just had a meeting on the top floors on 9/10 the day before and had another scheduled on 9/12 the day after. He also knew Todd Beamer very well.
Me, I was crossing the Tappanzee (north of NYC) when this terrible thing happened and I was able to see the smoke from the 2 towers rising into the sky. It was like a bad dream.
For months after they fell, we were able to see the smoke rising from Ground Zero from the Jersey side. We are so used to seeing those 2 in the skyline when driving on the NJ highways that it still feels strange that they aren't there any more. It's a big hole in my heart.
One of our friends worked in a dentist's office and it seems there were many patients from one Japanese bank that lost many employees. The dentist's office would call the patients up to remind them of the appointment but they'd be told by the spouses that he died in the Towers...
May God remember those that lost their lives....
