I was working in a call center selling airline tickets when 9/11 happened.
The first I knew of the attack was when I showed up at work. The TV in the break room was broadcasting footage of the attack to an appalled group of silent sales people. I was stunned; I left the break room to plug in on my phone and computer. That began three days of turmoil in the call center and on the phones. For three days, we gaped at the break room TV news of the attack or listened to an emotional cataclysm on the phones. At one point, I spent a gut-wrenching half hour with a woman who had been talking via cell phone with her friend aboard one of the crashed planes right up to the moment of impact. And for three days, our call center sold not a single air ticket. And by the third day, about half my coworkers were staying home to avoid the trauma.
To this day, this old soldier's heart longs for fatal retribution on every evil son of a who had anything to do with this mass murder.
