A couple of weeks prior to 9/11/01, I had gone on a job interview. If I had done well enough, I would have made it to the third round of interviews and landed a job in tower 2 of WTC, starting September 2001.
Everyone has their stories of that day, how they related, where they were, who they knew who lived or worked there, pondering that they could have been there under various circumstances. We are the fortunate ones who are alive to tell those stories.
