Two years ago I was pulled out of my sleep by my cell phone going off.
I knew it had to bad as I had instructed people to only call my cell
during an emergency.  My sister called.  She had just seen a WTO
building burst into flame.  As we spoke I could hear a radio in the
background and the voices of many astonished employees.  Some people
called for an evacuation after the first building stopped swaying.  
A few minutes later I could hear the floors below her being turned into
a fireball as the second plane struck home.  Our call ended with the
longest ten seconds I have ever spent on a phone.   A few days passed
before a friend called to confirm that it was not all just a nightmare.

Some of the chaps who are being smart mouths today have no idea what
9/11 it really means for thousands of Americans.  You gloat and use
these forums to spread utter nonsense about that day.  How many more
years will have to pass before such people wake up?

Sometimes cell phones bring us words we do not want to hear, but calls
from loved ones are always welcome.
