On this morning 8 years ago I was woken out of a sound sleep by a phone call from my friend Chris. Chris said "Have you seen it? Did you see that a plane crashed into the World Trade Center?" I said no I hadn't and immediately turned on the TV. Within a minute or so of turning on the television the other plane struck right before our eyes. Chris is a big guy. Over 6 foot, probably 250 lbs and a native born New Yorker. When the second plane hit Chris broke down in tears. The feeling of that moment was like nothing I have ever experienced before or since.
I hope we never experience anything like that again. Unfortunately it won't be easy to prevent a single nut case, or a small group of fanatics from carrying out another horrific attack. It was 8 years between the first attack on the WTC and 9/11. It's now been 8 years since 9/11... Scary for sure... bin Laden said: "We love death. The US loves life." How can you ever be safe from fanatics like that?
