Shame we need 'diaster' to stimulate that. 10m years ago...I was ready to leave for work and went to turn the TV off just as the first plane hit. I just stood there mouth agape not knowing. After the 2nd hit, I called work (because I was late ...like it mattered) and the contoller answered, he noted that the buildings could not fall. I drove in to work and most of the company had stopped and were standing in the lunch room circled around the TV, we watched the buildings fall. The head engineer offered to lead a prayer and those who wanted walked out front to the flag pole, the maintenance man lowered the flag to half mast, and most everyone prayed together. Then, it was a quiet day. The newscasts have said that everyone would remember. We do.
