I was there. Didn’t see the first plane hit but I saw what was left of the second plane come out the east side of the tower I was on the other side of the river In Brooklyn, Watch the towers collapse, surreal almost like it was fake. Next day I was working ground zero,( Operating engineers NYC )That was a terrifying experience for me. I can’t believe it’s been 19 years like it was yesterday. Got to work on the freedom Tower, I would love to see Tower II go up before I retire but I don’t think it’s going to happen, I was 40 years old when it happened, And it was such a beautiful day...but anyhow,they really shoved it up our asses that day.
