8 years ago today I overslept and didn't take the time to watch the news before I ran out to work, then I wondered why all the streets and the train was so empty...
Good thing you weren't going to the WTC :3
Unless that was a typo, and in that case good thing you didn't =D
I was.... sleeping. Seriously. I slept all morning, went to work at 1 am and someone said something about the news. Went to the break room and went 'No fucking way.'
Got off work early that day, incidentally (mall closed because of it).
My stepdad worked there and I was gonna stop by and visit him. He got sick and slept in that day, to this day he's a bit cocky about his luck. My mom freaked out most of the morning because his cellphone was off and mine was off and I had told her I was gonna go visit him. I mean it was a terrible tragedy but it did bring some families closer together and frankly people got to see a bit of what happens in those other countries where thousands die over senselessness.
