A Man's Account of New York City the Day the Towers Were Hit

Kevin Farrell's view of New York City changed forever after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 that brought down the World Trade Center towers ten years ago. Farrell, 62, spent most of his life in the east coast as a salesman and later moved to Greendale, WI. On Sept. 8 Farrell and a college buddy, who was also a pilot, saw the towers for the last time from the air. Three days later Farrell saw the city he so loved turn into utter chaos when the two planes hit the towers. The former salesman was working about five miles away from the towers. He spent day looking for a safe way home to New Jersey since the whole city shutdown, including the subway.  Even though he was not at the site Farrell said that people in the city looked like they were walking around like zombies as if though they were in a daze. While Farrell’s love for New York City will never change he says that the ambiance of that city will never be the same for him.
