My special trip to Ground Zero

[N1IC]

One of the good and bad of my job is I get to travel to a lot of places around the US. I was in NYC recently and through all the meetings and other stuff that goes into a business trip I had time to take my camera and slip away to Ground Zero. I thought you might enjoy seeing what captured me that day.

It was a turning point in my life in two ways. The obviousness of 9/11, and that day was the day I got laid off from a good job. I woke up to a phone call saying my employment was no longer needed and then I turned on the news to see the Trade Center collapse in a few hours. After four weeks of job searching I ended up with a better paying job with more benefits. 9/11 will never be forgotten...for a generation at least. It seems the gubmint/media is trying to, but the people that watched it unfold won't. Lest we forget the DC attack as well.

I was working for an airline in Chicago on that day. Needless to say it was a week I'll never forget. Within days of the FAA re-opening US air space I flew to NYC for a meeting. The pilot flew north over the Hudson and I got a birds eye view of the devastation from the air. Very very surreal.
