Back in the US of A #
Today I am flying back to the US and the irony does not escape me but it is certainly a concern. #
Looking for information and resolution. Neither came very quickly. 9/11 solidified my plans to return home to the US. #
And it was almost inevitable the second tower would also fall. As events unfolded, I was riveted to the TV for the next 9 hours. #
I remember before the second plane hit, most thought the first was most likely an accident. Soon the first tower fell. #
Then my cousin's wife called and woke me up to tell me something had happened. I turned on CNN which was the only English news channel. #
As now, I was in Germany when 9/11 occurred. When the first plane hit, I was taking an afternoon nap. #
