What an incredible day that was! Hard to grapple with the idea that it has been five years since that happened. Jill and I were scheduled to fly to New Orleans at the end of that week. Of course all flights were cancelled.
Seeing the second plane hit the second tower was an undescribeable moment. I called both of my kids and told them to get out of downtown Chicago. Lori worked only a few blocks from the Sears Tower in a 60 story bank building. Amy worked in the shadow of Lake Point Tower, the worlds tallest apartment building at 70 stories.
Jill and I first went to Ground Zero 6 months after that. It was a sobering experience to put it mildly.
