Remember...

Was working in that day (was a Tuesday if I remember correctly). Went through my normal morning routine at the store, then had 9c1 call me from the Galleria store saying that a plane hit the WTC and I should turn a TV on. I was thinking that somethine along the lines of a single engine prop-plane had hit the building, not a 737 (or was it a 757?). So, being a video game store, we didn’t have cable and I’m digging around for some rabbit ears that came with one of our display TVs. Find a set a plug them in, turn the TV on and turned to CBS. Picture came in bright and clear with images of smoke pouring out of the one tower, and minutes later the 2nd palne hit the other tower. For the remainder of the day that I was open I had everyone else from the plaza in and out of my store to watch the broadcast, but didn’t have many customers.

The strangest thing I remember was that after that day, the reception for any TV station (CBS, NBC, Fox, etc.) never came in clearly, just CBS on that day…
