I was at my desk on the north side of Tower 1, 71st floor, when the first plane hit.
I made it out of the building with 8 minutes to spare.
I did not know until 10:53 that both towers had collapsed.
While walking up West Side Highway I thought to myself, "Perhaps in 20 years they will invite us all back for opening day."
There would be no question as to whether or not I would attend. I would not miss it for the world.
It never crossed my mind that the Twin Towers would not be rebuilt.
I worked in Tower 1on the 71st floor for 4 and 1/3 years.
I will never forget what it was like working there.
An impressive set of buildings. A prestigious address. A spectacular view of the center of the world from about 900 feet up.
Seventy-five percent of the time I was there at 6:30 am.
I will never forget sunrise on 71. The red light, that only sunrise can produce, shining in the east windows.
A story:
I was driving home from work one day, in the rain, shortly after finding out that I had gotten the job I interviewed for at the World Trade Center. A pay phone in the parking lot of a building on the side of the road caught my eye. I slammed on the brakes and pulled into the parking lot.
I called my fellow programmers that I had left behind in Kansas seven months prior in order to move to New Jersey.
The phone rang...
Patti answered...
"Patti - this is Herman...
I just got a new job...
You'll never guess where I'll be working!...
The World Trade Center!...
Tower 1...
The one with the antenna on top!"
Patti called my former supervisor from across the room...
"Dan!... Herman's on the phone!... He got a new job... In the World Trade Center!"
It was big news "back home".
