General Discussion

It was in a building across the street from the Sears Tower. I was a
copier tech in the Chicago Loop; we all had pagers with LCD displays
that also gave news updates that I was checking from time to time
because, well meeting. Anyway, I get this message that a plane had
hit one of the World Trade towers so I figured it was just some idiot
in a Cessna. A few minutes later i get a message that the flight had
originated from Logan Intl. in Boston so now I thought this might be
be bad, but I was still thinking accident. I another got notification
that it looked to be intentional and at that point I interrupted the
meeting and told the group what was happening so we went to
another room that had a TV and turned it on just in time to see the
second plane hit. We were all stunned so our manager called the office
to ask what we should do. They put out a message for everybody to
go home. Metra, the commuter rail service stepped up and started
doing "load and goes" from the stations. I got home about noon and
watched the TV the rest of the day in utter disbelief.
