it's been a while. so please bear with me.
i'm a freelance computer consultant, and at the time i was working working with a brokerage house on the installation and testing of new systems. we
did this during late shifts, pretty much midnight to 7am as we couldn't touch the network during peak hours.
i grabbed some food and headed home on the ferry since it was a nice day.
lots of people were talking about a fire at the wtc, so as many people as possible went to the the right side of the boat. when we left the dock we
could see the smoke.
time went by fast, so i can't say how long until some people were yelling about another low plane. off to the left, coming in from what would have
been south west, over the harbor, a big jet was descending (it was already low) toward manhattan.
the jet engines were really high pitched and sounding like the full speed you hear at take off. at first i thougt it was in trouble, and was trying to
pull up at that point.
people started screaming as it was obvious it would hit manhattan. at the last minute it leveled off and banked into the wtc south tower. it hit so
hard it seemed like it could slice the tower in two.
