Where were you on September 11, 2001?

            Working in the dry cleaners on the press and as events unfolded heard the disturbing news on Radio Southern Counties.

              One person who was lost on that day saved 2 or 3 thousand others , he was a security guard for Morgan Stanley and he had predicted some such attack could happen. He had drilled into the staff an evacuation proceedure which in the end saved many lives. He was last seen singing songs of his homeland (Cornwall) to maintain spirits. He came from Hayle in Cornwall but left to join the Americans in the Vietnam war where he served with distinction after which he settled in America. He is still remembered by the people of Hayle and there is a granite memorial in his honour in the town by the quay.

                    His name RICK RESCORLA.

Oh good Lord!! I have so many what-ifs!!  You must have seen the smoke and whatnot!

My boss at the time lived across the river from NYC and could see where the towers were and all the smoke from the site. It's still haunting.

I had been keeping track of what was being said about AlQueda back then because of them saying that our computers out here had been tapped by them, via Portland State University...across the street from the world trade towers one of their top guys was getting sentenced that morning...for an bombing elsewhere...and my first instinct was this was to maybe either "sprng" the guy out of court.. or in reprisal...I never did read what happened to him...they were expecting him to get the death penalty though. Within hours of the towers going down every middle-eastern college student at PSU was returning to his homeland...afraid of the FBI "targeting" them over this all. I was "shocked" also in ways....you never want to beleive something of this nature can happen. Until then most of us thought we werre safe in this country. Yet..reading the newspapers daily like I do...I can see now things were building up. Plus as we glued our eyes to the TV set....Kenny Lay, Geo. Bush's "buddy" raised our electric rates here in Oregon some 40 per cent...no one raised an rucus... because the World Trade Towers was taking our attention... and notice how fast he went right in to declare we were under attack... before anyone could find out what was really going on....why whom.. for what.  They still do that to us out here...and wish it would stop...find excuses and diversions... to slip " crap" over to us to pay...the Health Bill amounts to about the same thing.  Kids were right...FBI came back out here to see whom they could harass... just because they came from the middle-east.  Many of us still think it was planned by those inside of our own country. You do know that Bin Laden worked for our CIA in his area... as an paid "mercenary" at one time against the Russians. We figure it was for controlling the drug trade. It is sad so many people had to lose their lives. Did you all notice that Mr. Bush was not in Washington D.C. at that time...how convienent. As for us "lightworkers" around the world we "work" at these times to get the souls departed into the " light". Disasters happen so fast it leaves many souls confused as to their own deaths... and what comes next...we pray... and try to help them over softly....and I don't mind telling you it's heart rendering work in itself. Sometimes you will see an picture of the Trade Centers after they fell and see all kinds of little "orbs" floating around...those are the "souls" of the people transiting toward heaven.

Three months earlier in the summer...in an tiny article in the newspaper...it said that an Muslim in Idonesia had been taken by police and interogated.... and told at that time... they were planning to attack the United States... as one of their upcoming targets.

 As you know our little newspaper out here has won an Pultzer Prize year after year for the thier news reporting. You can see the tends in the world by those little snippets of news...if you pay attention....even though they may sound insiginifcant at the time.
