The anniversary is tomorrow, 11 Sept.
Mrs B and I were in San Diego after driving town the West Coast Highway from San Francisco. We were due to fly to Las Vegas for a few days and then catch our flight home. With all planes grounded for several days we ended up driving over the desert to Vegas via LA which took around six hours and was VERY hot.
Our flight back to London was one of the first out when avaiation resumed.
The Americans just couldn't believe what was happening and the collision footage and fall of the towers was screened pretty much 24/7 for a couple of days. The telephone system pretty much locked up too and it took us a while to get permission from the San Francisco office to take our hire car to Las Vegas and leave it there.
