9 years ago on September 11th what were you doing?
Today is a my friend's birthday, my parents anniversary and a day when tragedy struck. There have been somber moments all over the internet today from an old Budweiser commercial on YouTube that had aired only once to people donating their Facebook statuses to remember those whose lives were lost.
When the news broke about 9/11 I was awoken by a neighbor's call. She said, "turn on the t.v. - we're under attack." I couldn't even quite comprehend those words at 6am. I got dressed and went into work, at a software company in Silicon Valley. A place that was always loud with the hustle and bustle of the engineers and had TV's going all over the place. But that day there was just one big screen projector on with the CNN news being broadcast of the attacks. People were still at home trying to reach their loved ones on the phone, but the lines were jammed. It was quiet and somber. It was unforgettable.
