I was in a Gannett owned newspaper meeting. When it first happened all the monitors went to coverage of it from what seemed like a 100 different sources. I stayed till the first tower fell. The sales manager said "we can sell a special edition about this." I looked at him and walked away. Then I went and picked up my children from school and took them home.

A couple people I knew died there that day, including a young man from my church who had been married less than a year. One of my oldest & closest friends was not feeling well that day. He stayed home. He worked in the South tower.
I have family who also live/work nearby. The whole situation still upsets to me.
