Remembering 9/11
    Seven years ago, I was in Atlanta at NetWorld+Interop to judge the show's product 
  awards when the news of a plane hitting the World Trade Center broke. It seemed 
  like a crazy accident. Then another hit. Then the buildings fell. And there 
  were still planes in the air, still more potential targets. 
We were sitting in a building with over 10,000 people directly across from 
  the CNN center. We could have been a target. Wisely, we left the building and 
  went back to our hotels, walking past hundreds of shocked Atlantans. 
Two days later, I drove back up to Boston. Passing through New York, I smelled 
  the sickening, acrid burning metal discharge from what used to be two majestic 
  buildings holding nearly 3,000 important human lives.
Where were you on 9/11, and how did this day change your life? Memories welcome
