9/11

[jack neville]

At that time I was working at a location in the World Trade Centre in Flinders Street , Melbourne.
I was on night shift and just arrived at work after the first tower was hit. Watched the whole thing unfold in similar disbelief.
I rang my wife at 0300 to tell her that planes had been flown into the World Trade Centre and to turn on the TV.
I never ever referred to my work location as the World Trade Centre and didn't realise the significance of what I had just told her.
She told me later that when she turned on the TV she couldn't work out why all the fuss was in New York when such a disaster had occurred in Melbourne.
Just a little personal quirk on an event that has reshaped all our lives for a very long time.
