When I got back inside a little before 9AM, the radio was in noise hash. I tuned around, heard no NYC stations, and was thinking that there was a power failure in the city. Then, I turned on the TV and saw what was happening.<br /><br />Channel 2, the station you likely were watching, was the -only- TV station in NYC to have a spare transmitter site.. at the Empire State Building. And, they happened to have a camera aimed at the Trade Center when the 2nd plane hit.. it was utterly astounding. Even at that point, I thought the first plane was an accident. I immediately emailed my sons who lived out of state to say I was OK and not working in NYC that day. <br /><br />One of my co-workers, it turns out, had a son who was a fire-fighter for the city, Michael Haub. His name is now inscribed on the door to Engine Co. 54 on 8th Ave near 48th St.Ray Sills, K2ULRnoreply@blogger.com
