I was at home recovering from a triple heart bypass operation. I was in lots of pain since I had complications in the hospital. Laying on the couch in the den, I could hear the TV say that one of the Trade Center Towers in NYC had been "rammed" by a plane.
The announcer was so naive: He described the plane that hit the first tower as a "small, maybe two-passenger" plane. I said "Bullshit!" under my breath about the "small plane" description. He didn't have to wait too long before it was clear that these planes were Boeing 767-200ER's.
The Twin Towers then came tumbling down. I wasn't in good health, but I wanted to kill every one of those people who caused this disaster. I watched TV for the most of the day and was exhausted when I went to bed that night.
