9-11-01

i woke up the morning of 9-11-01 to the sounds of firetrucks and ambulances not surprising since i was staying on a friends couch
near the queens midtowm tunnel 36st. and 2nd ave. a few blocks from the UN.
I had been living in NYC for less than a month and the night before i found out i got a job waiting tables at a cool new upper east side
restaurant things were looking good.....
at first i ignored the sirens and tried to call my friends and family to let them know i had a job.... but all the lines were busy!?
how could all the lines be busy even on cell phones?
then i relized the sirens wern't stopping they kept driving by the apt.and besides the sirens, the entire city was quiet
i turned on the the tv and saw a reporter at the UN talking about a plane hitting the twin towers... a firetruck would pass her then it would pass the apt.it was creepy then they showed the second plane hit .... i thaught it was the begining of the end of the world. after a while of panic trying to figure out what to do with no way of getting in touch with anyone i decided to grab my camera and my skateboard and head down to the towers
