there's not a whole lot i can say about today that hasn't already been said. in fact, a lot of you experienced that day five years ago with me. so it'd be a bit repetitive of me to bring up those things. i really wish someone had thought to save those bronze boards back then. it was such a testament to what the bronze was all about.

when i hear september 11th, i automatically think of three people. two i know and one i just read online. the two i know are

foxant10 and

ladymyst.

foxant10 was there that day. he worked in WTC5. if you want to read his account from that day, i saved it here. i strongly recommend you read it. it never fails to take me back to that day and the fear i felt. i made a post four years ago and i'm so glad i put these kind of things down where i can look back and remember them.

the second person i referred to earlier is

ladymyst. she lost someone she loved on one of those planes. she's one of the most articulate and sensitive people i've ever known and reading her accounts of that day and the days(months, years...) after still make me weep for what she and so many other people lost.

the third person is Sarah Bunting. she has her own website, tomatonation.com. she was in NYC that day and has a chilling account of what happened to her and the kindness of strangers during such an awful time. that article is archived here. go read. you won't be sorry.

i didn't really have time to reflect today. work has been too insane. maybe that's for the best...i don't know. i did want to post to let everyone know i'm thinking of them. especially those who lost someone that day.

I didn't realize that no one had saved the Beta boards. I was going to ask you if you had them, or if you knew if Artie, Phoenix or Cosmic Bob had saved them. I re-read Anthony's account when I found the camp boards, yesterday. I remember people posting his name on the Beta, until we heard he was safe.

I don't think I can read Sars' account, again. I read it when it was published and...just man.

I remember reading the boards that day. I wish I had thought to save them.
