rss commentsSeven years ago today, I left my house in the Bronx to go to my job at a software development company in White Plains, NY. On the way in, I stopped for coffee. Some homeless-looking dude came past me on the street saying, “They flew a plane into the WTC”. I thought he was nuts. When I got to work, it was eerily silent. Everyone was watching cnn.com show the clips of the first and then the second attack.
I didn’t lose family or close friends, but we had customers in the Towers who didn’t make it out. Blessings and peace to those who lost their lives; to those injured physically, mentally and emotionally; to the people who lost their livelihood; and to the family, friends and communities who bear the burden still.
