Every 9/11 anniversary takes me back to the beautiful fall day in DC. I remember the smoke entering our building. And how it smelled! I remember the tears of my coworkers and the panic on their faces. I remember being told evacuate but having no opportunity to leave because the traffic was so bad we were stuck there. I remember trying to call my wife on my cell but couldn’t get through. I finally got through to her by using my office phone. I remember being told to hunker down because more planes are inbound. I remember seeing one chopper after another flying up up the Potomac going as fast as possible. There are many other things I remember hampering on that terrible day. I’ll never forget!
