Sad day. I was mountain biking in southern Colorado, had busted a few ribs in a fall, so we broke
camp and got a motel room in Durango for the night. The wife called me in the shower to say
"a plane crashed into the World Trade Center". I asked if it was a small plane, she said it was
an airliner. I asked what the weather was like, shutting down the water, and grabbing a towel.
She said, "Perfectly clear day." I said, "It is impossible to accidentally hit a building on a clear
day." as I walked into the room with the TV. About 10 seconds later the second aircraft
came into view and we watched it slam into the other building. "That proves it is terrorism."
We went to Mesa Verde for a tour of Cliff Palace, already planned after I busted myself up.
Sad day, no way to really keep up out in the middle of nowhere, no cell service. Headed towards
our cabin in the front range east of Alamosa, stopped in Alamosa and watched TV in a store
window for a bit. No TV or radio at the cabin, to remote, didn't have our Direct TV reciever with
us.
Cell service in Alamosa, called my sister, an airline pilot to see that she was OK. She told us that the
towers had fallen. Not then knowing the unusual stressed skin construction, I was really surprised.
And my nephew was just out of the USNA, heading to USMC flight school. In 2009 he was killed
in a fire fight in Afghanistan.
Sad day in history.
