Ten years ago TODAY I was working dayshift (0700-1530 hours) , at 0825 hours (the 1st airliner struck at 0846 hours), I was on duty and received an "ALL ALERT" tone. All Alert Tones equal "Holy **** Mode" for LEs. We knew something was coming just didnt know what it was. I responded to my assigned area, evacuated and secured it, while listening to every LE and Public radio station go ballistic. I entered my secured area, turned the tv on and watched on the bent knee, in full HASMAT gear, the horror of 09-11-2001. I still shake when thinking or talking about it. Called my dad (NY City resident) and told him to hunker down. Called my wife (at work) and daughters (in school) and gave them the same message. I was finally out of uniform and relieved of duty on 09-14-2001 at 2230 hours. It was a long daywork shift 09-11-2001.
