">My Big World Of Crap

Today marks 5 years since the terrible attacks on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon on September 11, 2001. It just doesn’t seem that long … I remember how the events unfolded that night like they were much more recent than 5 years. The initial reports on the late news just before I was going to bed, that a plane had crashed into the WTC, then as soon as the 2nd plane hit the other tower, it was obvious that this was no accident, but a terrorist attack. Then came the attack on the Pentagon, and right through this time was much fear and speculation … were there any more targets? I think I finally got to bed around 4 am, and at work the next day was one of many tired people.

Nearly 3,000 people died in that evil act. Hopefully there will never be a repeat. Those that committed it are/were evil lunatics, and they and their ilk deserve to be eradicated from the face of the earth. To the 3,000 who died, and their families and friends, commisserations.

I had intended to be in New York this week, but my meeting has been deferred a few weeks - looks like early next month now.
