I was on my way to take my girl to a stud to be bred. It was about an hour away so I turned on the radio. They kept talking about a bomb went off in the towers. I was thinking why were they about that.That happened in 1993. I turned off the radio and when I got to the breeders house I saw what was going on. UNBELIEVEABLE!! We also watched it on TV at work. One of my co-workers couldnt find anything out about her brother who is a pilot for United, flying out of Boston that morning. His plane left 5 minutes before the plane that was hi-jacked and going to the same destination. Also, as I thought about it, I also waited on one of those SOB's the Thursday before 9/11. He was receiving a $5000.00 Western Union from Saudie Arabia. He was NOT a regular customer that used Western Union. He did not know how it worked. I guess he just thought that amount of money would be available to him. He was very nervous and was constantly on his cell phone as he did not know what to do.
These pictures and memories are still just as haunting as the day it happened. |
