I left school early that day with my sister and passed by the CDC, which was unusually busy with people LEAVING IN A HURRY.
I knew it was serious business when the second plane hit and reports of the other hi-jacked planes started coming in.

Needless to say 10 years have gone by and I still don't believe how bad we were caught by surprise. It makes me want to dismiss the official report and believe the naysayers. How could such atrocity be successful when we have institutions (CIA, FBI, etc...) that are meant to counter such plans.

Just the fact that the air force was conducting "war games, specifically a plane into building exercise" coincidentally that morning makes me feel uneasy about our big brother. What are the chances?
