I was on the phone to my boss in New York, I was in Italy. He saw the whole thing, he was in the car on Broadway. I lived the experience for several seeconds over the phone then he hung up. Couldn't get through again for 2 days.

Should have been there myself with him but cancelled my flight for Sept 9th and postponed it to Sept 18th due to family commitments. THANK GOD FOR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I flew in on Sept 18th as planned (I was a bit nervous about the flight) and went to the site. The worse thing about the whole experience was the smell of burning flesh. Sorry if that sounds disgusting, but that's how it was - it's something you can't experience through TV, it was terrible.

An interesting fact: on that trip I travelled through 5 US airports. I had my husband's laptop bag with me which I took on all the planes as handluggage, Didn't check the pockets before I set off, but after returning I noticed that in the front pocket their was a carton cutter he uses to open boxes. THEY DIDN'T SPOT IT IN 5 US AIRPOTRS IN SEPT 2001 RIGHT AFTER THE TRAGEDY!!!! That's top security for you.
