Ya know what? That was years ago.
Who cares. No one is gonna investigate what really happened.
I edited this post because since 9/11 the world has gotten crappier because of the lies surrounding this day.

I was sitting in the very same chair that I am right now when someone came around the corner towards my office saying that a small Cessna had hit the World Trade Centre.
Spent the rest of the day in the Emergency Break Out Room making up a list of where our planes were and where they were going to land and at what time.
After the last plane landed I went to the movies because I didn't want to hear anymore news. I think I saw the Planet of the Apes, but to be honest I wasn't really watching the movie.

I was just checking weather for a trip bringing the boss back from the States. I was on hold with FSS and my pal called me. He just said "Turn on the tv". So I did, in time to see the second plane hit the tower.
I seriously thought about taking a plane and heading north for 1/2 a tank of gas, then landing at the most remote strip I could find. Then I remembered about the military base nearby, figured they'd be going out of their minds with worry and anger, and decided to stay on the ground.
Truly a terrible and surreal day.

Can't remember exactly, but it was either flying in the beaver on my way to do a camp check or having breakfast with an american after doing the check at another lake. As I was climibing out after take off, someone was babbling something to me on the radio about it. Didn't know really until I got back to base and we all sat in shock about what was going on. Boss decided to shut down ops for the day, and then at 1600 the call came in from Transport telling us not to fly.
You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
I was in the air that morning when it happened. The wx was perfect, had a great flight. Watched the endless reruns on TV after I landed. Supremely depressing. Like watching a gang rape/murder over and over again. Couldn't understand afterwards why most Canadians thought the Americans in the towers deserved to die. Still don't.

I was watching the events unfold on a television in the hallway of Sault College, when I was in the aviation program, first year. Needless to say, I quit the program at the end of the semester realizing where the industry is going, and did my training at a local flying school instead, and in the process of getting a University Degree as a back-up.

Just finished a summer contract up north and thought "oh well I got some hours now...I'll have no trouble finding a job closer to home..." Whoa, big surprise, spent the next 6 months on the EI snowboard team. That whole shitty day I spent glued to the TV in shock. It still numbs me to watch that footage.
