Reply #29: 9/11: Lower Manhattan/// Shock & Awe: Brooklyn [View All]

[markses]

Where I was:

Plane hits North Tower - Chambers St. and Broadway
Plane hits South Tower - Wall Street and Broadway
South Tower Collapses - South Street and Old Slip
North Tower Collapses - 0n foot: entrance ramp to the Brooklyn Bridge from the FDR (where the westbound ramp turns 160 degrees east onto the bridge)

Shock and Awe:
In my brother's apartment, Park Slope BKLYN, drinking Sidecars and shaking our heads: shockenahw. The next day I had to go to a conference in midtown, but just before I left I checked out the TV. This time they had the real shock and awe, with the sound and everything. It sounded just like 9/11 to me. I got so pissed off watching it that by the time I got to the conference, I could barely contain my rage. Fucking Shock and Awe! The "branding" of shock and awe makes it even more repugnant.
