Still Standing

The events of 9/11 were deeply personal to me and my family.  I spent 11 years in the American Express Tower, which is located directly across the street from Tower One of the World Trade Center.  I walked through the lobby of WTC Tower One almost every business day until my departure in 1996...

More importantly, I still have lots of friends who work there.  Thankfully, everyone I know is OK.  Most returned to the building in the Summer/Fall of 2002.  I get physically ill every time I look at this, but I think its important to remember what happened.  And that it can happen again.

Smoke and dust can be seen rising shortly after the collapse of Tower One.  The dust eventually rose above the height of the roof, 51 stories or 225 ft.
