I was living in the Cooper Square neighborhood in downtown Manhattan, having breakfast and watching the morning news when the 1st plane struck a Tower. It was Mayoral Elections Day and I was about to go cast my vote for Rudy Giulliani. My first thought after seeing the hole and smoke was "that's no small private plane that accidentally crashed into the tower", as the news was reporting. Then they were urging everyone in the other tower to stay put and I started yelling that everyone should immediately abandon the whole area. Shortly after, the 2nd plane struck and I screamed "I told you all to leave", but many stayed and needlessly perished. It was one of the saddest days of my life.
Today I was watching, probably for the 30th time, the Armagaedon movie. In the begining scenes where they show the meteor showers hitting NYC, they showed one of the twin towers impacted by a meteorite. This movie came out in 1998 and now I wonder if that scene inspired the 9/11 attack that destroyed the towers. The world has gone sideways ever since 9/11/2001. Your thoughts?
