Where was I? I was leaving my house going to work after the first plane hit. I went to work, people were watching the news on big screens setup for this purpose. I kept working.
This may seem cold to you. And looking back now, I see that it was. But at the time, I had a job to do and I did it. I wasn’t in a position to do anything about it. I didn’t know anyone in the Towers or the planes. So I didn’t feel any personal response. As to people attacking the USA. Given the information at the time, I viewed it as inevitable. I did not expect the scale.
As to the loss of human life, well I can’t say anything that doesn’t make me sound callous. The loss of life is always a tragedy. Each life cut short, cut short of the potential a full life may bring. But I have no feelings on the matter. Just regret at the loss.
So that is where I was. A cold, callous man doing a job he thought important but which turned out to not be. Thank the Gods that man is dead.
