I was conducting a construction management seminar to a group of project managers just outside the DC beltway. One of the visual aids I had on hand was a monster television and DVD recorder. Needless to say the room was pretty quiet as we all bagged the seminar and watched until the two towers fell.

Class dismissed.

Drove to three or four project sites in the District, shut down and sent everyone home.

Will never forget the facial expressions of true fear and worry. from so many otherwise strong and capable people.
