Where Were You On 9/11/01?

We’re coming up on the 10th anniversary of one of those days in American history in which everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news that the World Trade Centers were hit. The news reached the Embassy I was working in at the time late in the afternoon. I remember watching the news feed in a crammed cafeteria with just two TVs, one of which had a very fuzzy picture. It was the one time in my entire career that I can recall that nobody noticed the Ambassador slip in quietly with the crowd.

Where were you on September 11, 2001?
