I had worked at an event at Windows on the World less than two weeks before the attack; we were there at 8 am to set up. There but for the grace of God. I was driving to work in Long Island on the 11th, the most stunningly beautiful day, and heard about a "small plane" having hit the Center. Got to work, it was confirmed as a passenger plane, and then the second plane hit. My office had all been at Windows together, and all I could think about was the low-paid, hard-working waiters, cleaners and kitchen workers (most of them Latinos, yessir ICE) who were running around with all of the things needed for the event - they were surely there on the 11th setting up for some other purpose.
