    No, I worked almost two blocks over.

    However, I was interviewing at Cantor Fitz with Pat Dwyer and another department head.  It ws my second interview that morning of 9/11at 7:00 left after about 45 minutes, with a job offer in hand
    .
    I walked back to my own office, stopped to get more  coffee and a bagel.  Then to my office.

    I got there just when the TV stations were getting worked up.  You have to unserstand that all trading rooms have TVS and monitos everwhere. 

    So I watched from the window of of conference room (all glass)

    It wasn't untile the exactt moment that the second plane hit the South Tower. that I knew it wasn't an accident.

    I saw the sun shine from the east, a big flash on that second plane.

    My god, I remember how it was to watch it on TV in Iowa.  I can't imagine being a few blocks away.  God was looking out for you that day.

    I just don't get the people who put all their money and faith into this ridiculous 5/21 BS.  Everyday I am amazed at home many stupid people walk in our midst.

    I believe in the rapture, but im pretty sure its not in any bible that May 21 is it. Its going to come when we least expect it, and not when we're freaking out an planning
    ...not tryin to go all religous on yall, just IMO

    I read somewhere that there are an average of 160 terror threats sent to the White House a DAY that we never know about. Most are fake and stupid, some are not. Thats crazy!
