I was in Columbia Missouri that day.
However, my girlfriend at the time (now wife) had just moved out to NYC that Labor Day weekend and I had gone with her to help her move. It was my first time in New York, so we did some of the tourist stuff, including going up to the observation deck of the World Trade Center. I was up there September 2, 2001.
As I sat there in my apartment in Columbia just nine days later watching it all happen, I kept thinking that having just been up there made the whole thing a lot stranger than it already seemed.
