9/11/01
I was a freshman at PSU, and my day off was Tuesday & Thursday from class. I worked at the US Postal Service on my off days, and I was sorted thru address changes and forwarding mail to the new zip codes.
The one lady told me that an airplane hit the WTC. I didn't think too much from that statement, but once 3 more planes hit other targets, the towers collapsed, and they let us watch TV in the break room, it was a day I will never forget.
The next day I bought a new car, and the finance manager at the dealership told me that his brother worked in the World Trade Center, but he forgot to set his alarm since he was up watching Monday Night Football the night before. I think he was a Giants fan. He slept in past 9:00am, never made it to the office that day. He said MNF saved his brother's life. Crazy story.
Can't believe it's been 16 years already.
