9/11/2001

The memories of 9/11 still make me cry and still make me angry.

I was at work....another day of repairing clients data networks......when we first heard the news a tv was brought into our area. I remember the phones starting to ring off the wall with clients calling in from NY and the surrounding states. One of our offices was nearby, it housed network equipment. We had to disconnect customers in order to loan equipment and connections to Verizon whos building suffered major damage. The scramble was on to provide communications to police, fire, hospitals and government buildings. I remember walking into our Network Operations Center, they had a wall of monitors approx 15 feet by 20 feet , maybe bigger, that they used in parts or as a whole, I looked at it and it was set to one large screen......I watched it as the news feeds came across of the towers falling and people running. I was sick to my stomach. Those images will forever be etched in my mind. Bless the souls of those that perished, those that fought the terrorists and those that bravely searched the rubble.
