I had a business meeting in Dallas that day. I was driving to the airport and had a CD cranked up kind of loud. As a result, I didn't hear my cell phone going off.

When I got the airport my wife finally reached me while I was getting out of my car in the parking garage. She told me what was going on. When I got to my gate, they had indicated that our flights were delayed. Eventually all flights were cancelled and I watched the news at a bar from within the airport for a bit before driving back home.

What a sad day. One of my best friends and co-worker who also lives in town was also trying to reach me. He was watching the news coverage live and he saw the broadcast where the 2nd plane hit the towers live on TV. That will be day that we all won't soon forget...
