And to all my brothers and sisters of FDNY PDNY, and all other departments of NYC, we still feel for you everyday. For the teams that ended up working the aftermath in NY, DC, and PA....we all owe you big time!
I was sitting up working when it happened, I turned the TV on, I was in shock, I woke my wife, and we both sat there just gobsmacked, it was 2am here.
I also had the opportunity at the end of October straight after that to take a free trip to Vegas and attend the SEMA show.
My wife and I discussed it, she supported me going, saying that we can't let them scare us. It was the quietest that the SEMA show had ever been. The tourist industry was dead. LA airport was scarey.
I returned from that trip on the morning flight to Sydney on the 3rd November my daughters 5th Birthday.
