I was working as a field service dispatcher for the company I worked for. I got a phone call from one of the engineers in NY. He told me a plane hit the WTC. He called me because we are both pilots. We were discussing how it was weird that on such a C.A.V.U. (Ceiling and Visiblity Unlimited) day that a plane could be so far off course. Then, suddenly he said he had to go, and hung up (when the second plane hit). Turns out he was stuck in traffic on one of the bridges the whole time. I remember I told the nearest co-worker to me. Nobody in the office knew yet...I was kind of the barer of bad news....
