I was a manager working in the Cox Call center in Virginia Beach, so we had televisions all over our office. I'll never forget the tears and screams of people from New York who had family they couldn't reach once we saw what was happening. Truly a horrific day and week, actually. It saddens me that people have no idea what it means to live in a car, or to not have food, loss of paperwork, a place to take showers, clothing or a place to call home. I pray for a miracle for all these people who need help so desperately and for kindness from those around the world. Thanks again!ROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07417463444013920901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-83396048293080161342019-09-12T10:03:01.088-05:002019-09-12T10:03:01.088-05:00A terrible, terrible day.

And you are spot on about not understanding our current political leader. It makes no sense. But then, so much doesn't.<br /><br />I was getting ready for work and Today show was on. I was eating breakfast and actually saw the second plane hit live on air. I stopped at Rick's on the way -- at the time he was director of the Japan America Society and a delegation of Japanese were here for some U-thing related to World War II. The event continued but no one could really concentrate -- people were too focused on any available TV. The same at work -- most of us had televisions in our office and they were NOT turned to Sesame Street. Groups clustered on the TVs in the lobby and looked through the windows at those in master control. That night the Japanese were at Rick's for a cook out -- a beautiful day and we were on the patio. We live in a flight path -- not low enough to be too bothered but we see planes often. The sky was perfect blue --and not a plane in the sky. One woman was worried because her friend worked in that district and she couldn't reach her. (It was OK in the end.) <br /><br />Last night I went to see "Come from Away" about the Canadaians on Gander, Newfoundland that took in thousands of passengers who couldn't land in the U.S. It was a powerful night to see this magnificent musical.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-58252192559925748142019-09-12T07:52:28.168-05:002019-09-12T07:52:28.168-05:00Truly devastating events.

Also astonishing to me are the stories of people who were supposed to be at that location doing their usual daily work, but were not there for some reason. It all gives us pause.

Hubby called me and said he can´t believe how dumb, how resistant the customers are.<br />The world really sadly has changed so much since. So many more terror attacks. Be in with axes on public transport, be it on "Western" festivals, knives, pistols, whatever.<br />Your president, our chancellor... they´re the same, the have to take no consequences for their actions. At least yours will be gone after 4 years - we have ours since some whopping 14 years! I have lost my trust in politics long ago. Turning on the TV is a pain, often, too. Even in series it´s full of terror.<br />Sorry, guess you didn´t expect such a long answer. And mostly I still feel safe here.<br />I have never been in NY/America (yet), but the pictures are "burned" into everybody´s mind, I guess.Iris Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147576380055530230noreply@blogger.com
